It should work, just wait a little longer. For me, it took a bit more than
three minutes to complete.
I'm not sure why it is that slow though.

Indeed the proper way is to package each ocaml library as cygwin packages
and then the orpie package just build depends on them instead of calling
opam.
There are several already packaged ocaml libraries. You may study their
cygport files in

Hope it helps.
Best,
Andy
