Installation procedure in Windows (tested in Vista, should work in XP)

0) Requires:

  * Cygwin

  * Objective Caml

1) Configure the software:

  * sh configure.win
    will install moca in c:/cygwin/usr

  * sh configure.win <directory>
    will install moca in <directory>

  * remarks:
    - use '/' in <directory> instead of '\'
    - use 'Progra~1' instead of 'Program Files'
    - add "c:/cygwin/usr/bin" or "<directory>/bin" to the Path
      variable if necessary

If this step fails with messages like ': command not found 12:', it is likely that you have a problem with end of line characters. You can :

- Manually change the encoding from CR+LF to LF in the three configure.win files (moca/configure.win, moca/config/configure.win and moca/Mk/configure.win).

- Change the preferences in your CVS client to use UNIX end of files. See http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#brokenlineendings for more information on the problem.

- Launch Cygwin setup and change file encoding from UNIX (default) to DOS. Now sh should work equally well on files in either UNIX or DOS format. See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html for more information.

2) Compile the software:

  * make

3) Become the super-user (if necessary) and do

  * make install

4) Execute "man mocac" and enjoy :)
