This document explain how to compile Apron under Windows. For the moment, only compilation using the OCaml Mingw port is supported.

Prerequisites

Install an OCaml Mingw 64 bits environment by following the instructions at https://fdopen.github.io/opam-repository-mingw, and selecting a mingw64 version of the OCaml compiler.

Under Cygwin, install the following Mingw libraries:

  • mingw64-x86_64-gmp
  • mingw64-x86_64-mpfr

Automatic installation

Use Opam to install Apron: opam install apron. Everything should work out-of-the-box.

Manual installation

Use Opam to install Apron's dependencies:

  • opam install ocamlfind camlidl mlgmpidl conf-gmp conf-mpfr.

Then launch Apron's configure script with the following options:

  • --ext-dll dll to specify that dynamic libraries have a .dll extension.
  • --no-ppl to deactivate support for the PPL, which gets automatically detected (even when non-present)
  • --no-cxx to deactivate support for the C++ API, which compilation fails under Cygwin
  • --prefix /path/to/installation/

Next, make sure perl is in your PATH, and edit the resulting Makefile.config. PERL must be set to perl instead of /usr/bin/perl, as CamlIDL expects a Windows path instead of a Cygwin one.

Finally, compile and install as usual: make, make install.
