@caseyjp1 It's not a problem with the build. Read the error message. You have updated ocaml since the last time you compiled this package so you need to recompile all the dependencies. Use "pacman -Qo [.cmi filename]" to find which packages to rebuild. Or if you're brave, pacman -Rsc gapi-ocaml && pacman -Sc and start from scratch.

Please fix the dependency, remove: 'ocaml-yojson<2.0.0' and replace it with: 'ocaml-yojson'.

Version 0.4.3 supports yojson 2.0.0 and up, see this closed issue: https://github.com/astrada/gapi-ocaml/issues/43

Also, about ocaml-cryptokit, see my last comment on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocaml-cryptokit. This can also be fixed, but you need to modify the PKGBUILD yourself, since the maintainer is not responding.

I do : Or if you're brave, pacman -Rsc gapi-ocaml && pacman -Sc and start from scratch.

It don't result.

 -> Error:
    ocaml-yojson<2.0.0 (Need: gapi-ocaml)

Can we do it? I think no.

'ocaml-yojson>=1.6.0'
'ocaml-yojson<2.0.0'

and aur has only ocaml-cryptokit < 1.3

Sorry. I don't know how do it right.

If you are experiencing problems with upgrading because of ocaml-yojson which is already version 2.x in the AUR, and this package still requires a version < 2.0, you can upgrade to 0.4.3 which fixes this problem. The following PKGBUILD works just fine:

@Glitchyme I changed the ocaml lib ownership but I also had to modify the PKGBUILD package() cause 'dune' kept asking for dir definitions, so I changed it from this:

package() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  export OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR="$pkgdir/$(ocamlfind printconf destdir)"
  install -dm755 "$OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR"

  dune install 
}

package() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  export OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR="$pkgdir/$(ocamlfind printconf destdir)"
  install -dm755 "$OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR"

  dune install --mandir /usr/share/man --docdir=/usr/share/doc --etcdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/data --sbindir=/usr/sbin --bindir=/usr/bin
}

Since I use 'yay' to manage aur packages, it was tricky to modify the PKGBUILD (if anyone knows how I would be grateful), but after all, that worked.

@webdawg does installing through opam work in the meantime? opam install gapi-ocaml

If not you can get around it the same way I did (though probably not recommended):

sudo chown -R user:user /usr/lib/ocaml # temporarily own for your user
yay -S gapi-ocaml
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/ocaml # set back to root

fails to create directories

Installing /usr/lib/ocaml/gapi-ocaml/META Error: /usr/lib/ocaml/gapi-ocaml/META: Is a directory

@Galacta_dm Nice one mate - It's been giving me a bit of a headache (and fiddling around updating other packages using AURutils manually as -u would stop on these packages). For anyone using aurutils, while following the instructions outlined by Galacta_dm, ensure you -Syyy and then reinstall the modified cryptokit package via pacman BEFORE trying to install gapi-ocaml etc, else it will present you with "cryptokit library not found" if you try gapi-ocaml install. After this, Aur sync -u worked like a charm for gapi-ocaml. Thanks again Galacta_dm

@Wodger

I think this is a solution

First, delete /usr/lib/ocaml/cryptokit

Then I edited package() part of PKGBUILD as in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocaml-cryptokit/

package() {
    cd cryptokit-release1161
    DESTDIR="$pkgdir" dune install --prefix "/usr" --libdir "lib/ocaml" -p cryptokit
    install -dm755 "${pkgdir}/usr/share"
    mv "${pkgdir}/usr/doc" "${pkgdir}/usr/share"
}

then I reinstalled ocaml-cryptokit.

After these changes, installation of gapi-ocaml has been done without any errors.
