`assemblage setup` should not mandate pkgs to be present to execute #85

Closed dbuenzli closed 10 years ago

E.g.

+ Loading assemble.ml. 
ERROR: The ocamlfind packages lit.gl lit and lit.u are not installed, stopping.

Or is there anything that prevents this ? I thought that nowadays all ocamlfind lookups were dynamic.

Related to #89.

That's just a sanity check

Yeah but you don't want that. Suppose you are somewhere where you don't have the whole environment, you still want to be able to generate the Makefile.

I mean external name references (namely packages) should not be dereferenced at build system generation time.

dbuenzli commented 10 years ago

Also internal references I think. In fact we should do that but report warnings rather than error + stop.
