`ocamlfind -linkpkg` fails with `Cannot find file "ws2_32.lib"`

The build using dune is working fine by the way. So, is there any way to use ocamlfind with dkml?

If you don’t want to use a switch, stick with-dkml in front of commands.

So with-dkml ocamlfind. Today only dune and opam are built specially so that they don’t need with-dkml.

[jonahbeckford]

The third option: You can also use Microsoft’s x64 Native Tools Command Prompt as well to avoid most need for with-dkml.

Yep, with-dkml ocamlfind works just fine. Thanks! Well, at least I created a googlabe issue.
