I'm following the first answer for installing OCaml on windows. I'm facing the following error when executing: opam install depext
# opam-version 1.3.0~dev (9fc27413c08030d909802dcdfb6e63b75d9dd762)
# os win32
# command tar xfj /home/<user_name>/.opam/packages.dev/depext.1.0.5/opam-depext-full-1.0.5.tbz -C /cygdrive/c/Users/<user_name>/AppData/Local/Temp/opam-504-ccabea
# path C:\OCaml64\bin

# stderr-file C:/OCaml64/home/<user_name>/.opam/log\log-504-42bb52.err
### stderr ###
# tar (child): /home/<user_name>/.opam/packages.dev/depext.1.0.5/opam-depext-full-1.0.5.tbz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
# tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
# /usr/bin/tar: Child returned status 2
# /usr/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The file /home/<user_name>/.opam/packages.dev/depext.1.0.5/opam-depext-full-1.0.5.tbz exists, and viewing with procmon, I see that tar successes to find it, and the problem seems to be that the directory /cygdrive/c/Users/<user_name>/AppData/Local/Temp/opam-504-ccabea not exists, and tar tries to find it and fails, without trying to create it.
To confirm that, running
$ tar xfj /home/<user_name>/.opam/packages.dev/depext.1.0.5/opam-depext-full-1.0.5.tbz -C /cygdrive/c/Users/<user_name>/AppData/Local/Temp/opam-504-ccabea
gives the following error message:
tar: /cygdrive/c/Users/<user_name>/AppData/Local/Temp/opam-504-ccabea: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Running the command: tar xfj /home/<user_name>/.opam/packages.dev/depext.1.0.5/opam-depext-full-1.0.5.tbz successes, and the files are extracted as expected.
Does anyone has an idea how can I proceed with the installation?
