I had been cross-compiling some OCaml code linked against C code using the Fedora 11 mingw-ocaml and related packages. I ran up against a wall when I discovered that some of the MinGW Windows header files were missing some crucial data structures, after updating some of the C code.
A Google search revealed that some of those header files have been updated in more recent versions of MinGW. So I thought to install Fedora 15, and get all the latest packages. But it looks like there's no mingw-ocaml package for Fedora 15.
If there's no such package, is there a recommended way of installing OCaml for MinGW on Fedora 15?

There never was an official mingw{,32}-ocaml package in Fedora. It requires a bunch of non-upstream patches, and we're looking for a maintainer to sort out the whole mess.
