building on debian 9

[ekg]

I'm having some trouble pulling together the ocaml build chain that seems to be needed for this.

I've tried:

sudo apt install libderiving-ocaml libfindlib-ocaml libparmap-ocaml ocaml-batteries-included
./build

But I get an error on build:

+ ocamlfind ocamldep -package deriving,deriving.syntax -syntax camlp4o -package batteries,parmap -modules type.ml > type.ml.depends
ocamlfind: Package `deriving.syntax' not found
Command exited with code 2.
Compilation unsuccessful after building 1 target (0 cached) in 00:00:00.

What else should I get?

Hello @ekg , could you try to install the required packages through opam?

Our experiment machine is not accessible at this moment, but the installation commands should be something like:

opam switch 4.01.0
opam install deriving 
...

Hope it helps!

If it helps anyone, I was able to build on Debian 9 with the following dockerfile:

ROM debian:stretch

RUN    apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y build-essential ca-certificates curl git \
               devscripts debhelper opam \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN    cd /root \
    && yes | opam init \
    && opam switch 4.01.0
RUN eval `opam config env` \
    && opam install deriving ocamlfind parmap batteries ocamlbuild
#XXX specify exact package versions.

RUN    git clone https://github.com/s3team/uroboros \
    && eval `opam config env` \
    && cd /root/uroboros/src \
    && ./build

WORKDIR /root

CMD [ "/bin/bash" ]
