Use a custom OCaml compiler (on Windows 😉)

Open MisterDA opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to use a custom OCaml compiler with ocaml-setup? I'd like to point to a specific repo, branch, commit, of the compiler for testing. I'd like it to work on Windows, too. If this feature is already supported, what's the syntax?

Is it possible to use it by specifying the exact package name(s)? https://github.com/ocaml/setup-ocaml?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-version-syntax

Actually installing specific unreleased compilers seems like a lot of work, but it doesn't seem impossible. That said, most users don't need it, so I'm not sure I should implement it 🤷‍♂️
