This is a complete set of OCaml bindings around libvirt, exposing all
Requirements

-To build the bindings and mlvirsh (required):
+To build the bindings, examples, and mlvirsh (required):
GNU make, gcc
libvirt >= 0.2.1 (from http://libvirt.org/,
get the latest version if you can)
ocaml >= 3.08 (from http://caml.inria.fr/)
+
+Optional, but highly recommended:
+
findlib (from http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/)
- Extlib (from http://ocaml-lib.sourceforge.net/)
To build the OCaml interface documentation (optional):
To build virt-top (optional):
ocaml-curses (from http://www.nongnu.org/ocaml-tmk/)
+ Extlib (from http://ocaml-lib.sourceforge.net/)
xml-light (from http://tech.motion-twin.com/doc/xml-light/)
ocaml CSV library (from http://merjis.com/developers/csv)
+ ocaml-calendar (http://www.lri.fr/~signoles/prog.en.html)
- [Only ocaml-curses is required for building virt-top. The other
- packages are not required, but you will get reduced functionality].

To build mlvirtmanager (optional):
perldoc (part of Perl)
+To build a Windows installer (optional):

OCaml packages are available for Fedora 7 and above (ocaml,
ocaml-findlib, ocaml-findlib-devel, ocaml-ocamldoc, ocaml-extlib,
ocaml-extlib-devel, ocaml-lablgtk, ocaml-lablgtk-devel, ocaml-curses,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libvirt/ mlvirsh/mlvirsh.opt
+Windows
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I have built libvirt (the bindings), examples, mlvirsh and
+mlvirtmanager on Windows using the MinGW port of OCaml. It's quite
+likely that it will also work under VC++, but I have not tested this.
+
+To build the Windows installer, you will need NSIS. Then do:
+
+ ./configure --with-nsis=/c/Progra~1/NSIS
+ make all opt
+ make wininstaller
+
+This should build a Windows binary installer called
+ocaml-libvirt-$VERSION.exe which includes the bindings, all required
+DLLs and all programs that can be built under Windows.
