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.

Any clue?

@ginoboy - check the top pinned post. Also, that issue is unfortunately out of this maintainer's hands.

Error: External library "camlidl" not found.

Thanks much @pricechrispy - honestly it was just confusing because the aur website made it obvious it knew what the alternative was (dune or *-git) however yaourt would just exit saying it couldn't find the resource. I expected the client to understand that jbuilder was renamed and to install accordingly.

@olsonpm Yes, you are correct. I had been waiting patiently for this name switch to propagate to the AUR package. This is now merged.

@Mech2 Thanks for that tip. Hopefully the maintainer of the camlidl package will attempt to make these necessary changes.

I'm not very familiar with aur, but I think the 'jbuilder' makedepends line needs to be changed to 'dune' (to account for its renaming)

Another way to fix the META file not installed properly I reinstalled camlidl and changed:

install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/META.camlidl ${pkgdir}/${_ocamldir}/${pkgname}/META

to

install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/META.camlidl ${_ocamldir}/${pkgname}/META

in PKGBUILD. $pkgdir is already prepended to $_ocamldir so so theres no need for it in the install command.

Another error now exists with the camlidl package on a fresh build system.

In this case, the package is no longer creating a required file called "META". This prevents camlidl from showing up as installed, and prevents the package from building.

If you run "ocamlfind list | grep -i 'camlidl'", you should see the camlidl packages listed.

If not, manually create the META file: /usr/lib/ocaml/camlidl/META
