Subject: [Caml-list] (dune/opam) Proper way of vendoring a library inside an application?
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2020 09:48:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f50f0acb-9e02-cc29-6da7-6e56f33f8b42@inria.fr> (raw)
Dear fellow OCaml users,
I am trying to figure out how to "vendor" (embark) a private
copy of a library inside a project. (Concretely, I would like
to vendor Fix inside Menhir.) I want this fact to remain
invisible, that is, installing Menhir should not result
in installing or upgrading the user's public copy of Fix.
I have copied the source tree for Fix inside the source tree
for Menhir, and added a (vendored_dirs fix) stanza in Menhir's
toplevel "dune" file.
Compilation works fine, but installation does not seem to work
the way I wish:
* "dune install" installs Menhir *and Fix*, though I would like
it to install Menhir only.
* Attempting to pin Menhir using "opam pin" fails because opam
cannot find Fix (inded, Fix is not globally installed).
I have tried removing (public_name fix) from fix/src/dune, but
then the compilation of Menhir fails (Fix cannot be found).
I am confused... what's the proper way of embarking a private
library inside an application without installing it globally?
Thanks!
