+To build the bindings, examples, and mlvirsh (required):
GNU make, gcc
libvirt >= 0.2.1 (from http://libvirt.org/,
ocamldoc (part of OCaml itself)
-To build mlvirsh (optional):
-
- Extlib (from http://ocaml-lib.sourceforge.net/)
-
To build virt-top (optional):

OCaml packages are available for Fedora 7 and above (ocaml,

ocaml-extlib-devel, ocaml-lablgtk, ocaml-lablgtk-devel, ocaml-curses,

-I have built libvirt (the bindings) and examples 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.
