Version: 2.0.7 ocaml-4.14.1 FreeBSD 14.0

Is there a specific reason you are trying to build 2.0.7? 2.0.8 has been out for several months now.

[yurivict]

2.0.8 depends on specific versions of ocaml-dune which isn't available in FreeBSD ports due to conflicts with other ocaml packages.

ocaml-dune-3.7.1 that is available isn't compatible with 2.0.8

[chaudhuri]

Let me check if 2.0.8 compiles with Dune 3.7.1 specifically. A priori it should since it only has (lang dune 3.7).

[chaudhuri]

Looks like the master branch builds with Dune 3.7.1 and works fine at least on Linux. I can release this as Abella 2.0.8.1 if you want. The 2.0.9 release is still a while away.

Sorry, spoke too soon. It seems that the dependency on xdg forces Dune to be upgraded. I guess I can make a patch on top of 2.0.8 before we added the xdg dependency which should hopefully work with Dune 3.7.1.

[chaudhuri]

Please see if the 2.0.8.1 release builds for you.

2.0.8.1 fails:

curl-8.7.1 is installed.

[chaudhuri]

Is the OCaml library ocurl installed? The dependencies are listed in abella.opam -- please make sure all the libraries with their minimum versions are available.

[chaudhuri]

Closing this. Please use the 2.0.8.3 release for now which has the libcurl dependency removed. We will revisit this in 2.0.9.
