I found my problem, disregard my last comment.

I don't know what to tell you, I just tested building this in a clean chroot and it worked. Are you using the correct version of dune from the community repository? It seems your dune was improperly linked, did you build it from source? Do you have all the dependencies installed like ocaml and ocaml-base?

All the PKGBUILD really does is call dune build and dune install and it doesn't seem like your dune program is working correctly.

Does not build for me:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.1.0/../../../../lib/Scrt1.o: in function `_start':

... and more

Problem with this package:

@Kunda If you are building ocaml-base via plain makepkg or devtools, that is to be expected since those tools can only install packages from binary repositories automatically and not those from the AUR. If you are using some AUR helper, though, it is indeed weird and you should probably report it on their bug tracker. Anyway I'm glad you could solve your issue!

@J5lx Why isn't there a ocaml-sexplib0 AUR package? I'd be happy to install it.

Edit: I found it but it's weird that it didn't automagically find and install it. Thanks. Issue solved.

@Kunda ocaml-base depends on ocaml-sexplib0, as shown on its AUR page. Therefore, you must build and install ocaml-sexplib0 in order to build ocaml-base.
