The PKGBUILD for this package is hosted here (contributions are welcome!): https://gitlab.com/dpeukert/pkgbuilds/tree/main/ocaml-ppxlib

Build was successful, but then the packaging phase failed for me. What could be the issue? (Similar problem just happened with another Ocaml-based AUR package.)

==> Starting package()...
dune install: option `--libdir': the path must be absolute to avoid ambiguity
Usage: dune install [OPTION]... [PACKAGE]...
Try `dune install --help' or `dune --help' for more information.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

error: failed to build 'ocaml-ppxlib-0.26.0-1'

Edit - Disregard. My PATH var got prepended by opam causing this issue. Removing its entry resolved it.

Failing to build. Tried reinstalling stdlib-shims and sexplib0. No improvement.

thx :-)

@simona Fixed, sorry about the delay.

@simona Sorry about that, I forgot to update the patch. Will try to fix it this evening.

@TheGoliath No worries, glad it's working now.

@TheGoliath As the error message says, your ocaml-migrate-parsetree was compiled with an older version of ocaml. Try rebuilding that package and then try rebuilding this one again.
