Instead of trying to share a code.cma file, perhaps you could distribute an
opam/dune project skeleton with the library source code, code.ml? Then the
problem of trying to tell dune where code.cma is goes away :-)

I've never heard of it. From what I understand, OCaml, opam, and dune all
heavily encourage compiling projects from source because of potential
system/architecture differences.
