Every time there is an update in this package, it brings me a strong headache in order to rebuild it through AUR in pamac. This happens because usually there is a new version of ocaml and all the .cmi files for the many sub-packages it depends on became obsolete, but are not automatically reconstructed, giving messages like this:

File "src/utils.ml", line 1: Error: /usr/lib/ocaml/Fuse/Fuse.cmi is not a compiled interface for this version of OCaml. It seems to be for an older version of OCaml.

Then I need to enter into a tedious process of going dependency by dependency and asking it to be rebuild in order to avoid such errors. In some cases, there are dependencies on dependencies that repeats the same problem. Last time it took me more than 4 hours doing it package by package by hand, until the new version is able to be compiled. Isn't there a way of avoiding this obnoxious procedure ?

tambeta updated ocaml-sqlite3 to 4.4.1-1, for now this package can be build again.

I'm having the same problem as @DroidFreak32 and @sfranchi. I can't build this package because it depends on ocaml-sqlite3. I see that ocaml-sqlite3 is now out of date and the maintainer comments that he doesn't have time to fix it and it's now orphaned. Does anybody have a suggestion for a a work-around?

I'm having the same problem as @DroidFreak32, package does not build because (I think) of older versions of ocaml packages.

Im having errors compiling this:

Hint: try: dune external-lib-deps --missing @install

Just in case someone is encountering the same problem I had with building the ocamlnet dependency (see my previous comment): it turned out that building most of its dependencies individually (ocaml base, ocam-pcre, etc.) before trying to build ocamlnet solved the problem for me.

One more issue: the dependency ocamlnet does not build either. According to the AUR comment of 11/27/2017 it requires a downgrade of the the nettle package to 3.3.1

Updating the package after ocaml update requires recompiling all dependencies. Is there any way of stipulating that in the package instead of going manually reinstalling all the dependencies?

For the Error: External library "camlidl" not found., see my comment on camlidl.
