Installation on Windows

[OscarLahaie]

I run vscode on windows and i wonder if i can have the same features from Cygwin as on WSL.
For example the ability to see/change of switch directly in vscode is not working for me.
if the feature exists how do I configure the ocaml installation properly ?

Are you using the Remote WSL extension? You should have access to your WSL opam switches once you do "Open Folder in WSL" in VSCode.

Yes it is working with WSL but not with Cygwin. How can I make it work for Cygwin ?

[mnxn]

Oh, I thought you meant Cygwin was working but WSL wasn't.

To get Cygwin working, install OCaml for Windows and make sure the ocaml-env program is in your Windows PATH.
I think with the default installation directory you will need to add C:\OCaml64\usr\local\bin to the PATH. It'll be a different directory if it was installed somewhere else.

Like this ?

[mnxn]

No, ocaml-env is a program inside the C:\OCaml64\usr\local\bin folder.
What I mean by making it accessible is adding it to the Path variable that is a few lines down.

If you open the Path variable, C:\OCaml64\usr\local\bin must be one of the lines there.

Thank you very much, it works!

I have another question :
Why I get the icons on Cygwin :

But not on WSL :

That might be a bug with the way we get .svg assets. Please make an issue.
