optional compilation

[vb@haramis ~/code/ocaml-websocket]% jbuilder external-lib-deps --missing @install
Error: The following required libraries are missing in the default context:
- cryptokit (optional)
I am using the following stanza:
(library
((name rng_cryptokit)
(public_name websocket.rng_cryptokit)
(modules (rng_cryptokit))
(optional)
(libraries (rng cryptokit))))
Why jbuilder insists on building this if it is flagged optional and that cryptokit is not installed?
Maybe it's required by a non-optional library or an executable that is to be installed?
No, not that I can see.
Maybe you can have a look and try to compile : https://github.com/vbmithr/ocaml-websocket/tree/jbuilder
Can you try putting the optional libraries in separate directories? It might have to do with the merging of the .merlin
This works. But still a bug.
Indeed, I documented it. I'd say it's low-priority
I head that merlin should eventually read flags from .cmt[i] files directly, which will solve this issue, so it's probably best to just wait for now
