  • PKG_CONFIG is commonly used: there's prior art in Nix, Cmake
    • in cross-compilation scenarios, the target environment can set PKG_CONFIG to the prefixed executable, e.g. aarch64-unknown-linux-musl-pkg-config

fixes #2572

This allows to remove a pkg-config hack in the nix-overlays, for example: nix-ocaml/nix-overlays@34f688d

Thanks for the PR. Some questions about nix/cmake so I understand this variable correctly.

export PKG_CONFIG${role_post}=@targetPrefix@@baseBinName@

What's role_post in this line?

From the cmake docs

Should we support the PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE variable as well?

The PKG_CONFIG environment variable can be used as a hint if PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE has not yet been set.

What does it mean to be used as a hint?

In the current implementation, should we allow command line arguments to bw included in this variable? E.g. is this valid: PKG_CONFIG=pkg-config --foo?

Finally, could you make a corresponding change to pkg_config.ml in the rules? We also support pkg_config there and it would be good to be consistent.

What's role_post in this line?

Look like it sets _FOR_BUILD and _FOR_TARGET. see this. It looks only used internally, while PKG_CONFIG is exposed to the shell.

Should we support the PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE variable as well?

From what I've read, cmake will look for PKG_CONFIG too. here they look for it first. In those cases PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE is set from PKG_CONFIG. My suggestion is to support only one variable, since _EXECUTABLE seems specific to cmake.

In the current implementation, should we allow command line arguments to bw included in this variable? E.g. is this valid: PKG_CONFIG=pkg-config --foo?

I feel like it might be valid indeed, even if there are issues with it in the wild. I'm not sure what to do here. My bias is to support just the binary and adapt it later based on user feedback.

Finally, could you make a corresponding change to pkg_config.ml in the rules? We also support pkg_config there and it would be good to be consistent.

yup, will do!

Added the same logic to Pkg_config.ml in rules.

We should probably allow overriding this variable. I recommend fetching the environment from Super_context.env_node

Ah yeah, env_node makes sense. I changed to that.

[new release] dune (15 packages) (3.8.0~alpha1)
8f04d31 
CHANGES:

- When a rule's action is interrupted, delete any leftover directory targets.
  This is consistent with how we treat file targets. (@rgrinberg, 7564)

- Fix plugin loading with findlib. The functionality was broken in 3.7.0.
  (ocaml/dune#7556, @anmonteiro)

- Introduce a `public_headers` field on libraries. This field is like
  `install_c_headers`, but it allows to choose the extension and choose the
  paths for the installed headers. (ocaml/dune#7512, @rgrinberg)

- Load the host context `findlib.conf` when cross-compiling (ocaml/dune#7428, fixes
  ocaml/dune#1701, @rgrinberg, @anmonteiro)

- Resolve `ppx_runtime_libraries` in the target context when cross compiling
  (ocaml/dune#7450, fixes ocaml/dune#2794, @anmonteiro)

- Use `$PKG_CONFIG`, when set, to find the `pkg-config` binary  (ocaml/dune#7469, fixes
  ocaml/dune#2572, @anmonteiro)

- Preliminary support for Coq compiled intefaces (`.vos` files) enabled via
  `(mode vos)` in `coq.theory` stanzas. This can be used in combination with
  `dune coq top` to obtain fast re-building of dependencies (with no checking
  of proofs) prior to stepping into a file. (ocaml/dune#7406, @rlepigre)

- Fix dune crashing on MacOS in watch mode whenever `$PATH` contains `$PWD`
  (ocaml/dune#7441, fixes ocaml/dune#6907, @rgrinberg)

- Fix `dune install` when cross compiling (ocaml/dune#7410, fixes ocaml/dune#6191, @anmonteiro,
  @rizo)

- Find `pps` dependencies in the host context when cross-compiling,  (ocaml/dune#7410,
  fixes ocaml/dune#4156, @anmonteiro)

- Dune in watch mode no longer builds concurrent rules in serial (ocaml/dune#7395
  @rgrinberg, @jchavarri)

- `dune coq top` now correctly respects the project root when called from a
  subdirectory. However, absolute filenames passed to `dune coq top` are no
  longer supported (due to being buggy) (ocaml/dune#7357, fixes ocaml/dune#7344, @rlepigre and
  @Alizter)

- Added a `--no-build` option to `dune coq top` for avoiding rebuilds (ocaml/dune#7380,
  fixes ocaml/dune#7355, @Alizter)

- RPC: Ignore SIGPIPE when clients suddenly disconnect (ocaml/dune#7299, ocaml/dune#7319, fixes
  ocaml/dune#6879, @rgrinberg)

- Always clean up the UI on exit. (ocaml/dune#7271, fixes ocaml/dune#7142 @rgrinberg)

- Bootstrap: remove reliance on shell. Previously, we'd use the shell to get
  the number of processors. (ocaml/dune#7274, @rgrinberg)

- Bootstrap: correctly detect the number of processors by allowing `nproc` to be
  looked up in `$PATH` (ocaml/dune#7272, @Alizter)

- Speed up file copying on macos by using `clonefile` when available
  (@rgrinberg, ocaml/dune#7210)

- Adds support for loading plugins in toplevels (ocaml/dune#6082, fixes ocaml/dune#6081,
  @ivg, @richardlford)

- Support commands that output 8-bit and 24-bit colors in the terminal (ocaml/dune#7188,
  @Alizter)

- Speed up rule generation for libraries and executables with many modules
  (ocaml/dune#7187, @jchavarri)

- Add `--watch-exclusions` to Dune build options (ocaml/dune#7216, @jonahbeckford)

- Do not re-render UI on every frame if the UI doesn't change (ocaml/dune#7186, fix
  ocaml/dune#7184, @rgrinberg)

- Make coq_db creation in scope lazy (@ejgallego, ocaml/dune#7133)

- Non-user proccesses such as version control or config checking are now run
  silently. (ocaml/dune#6994, fixes ocaml/dune#4066, @Alizter)

- Add the `--display-separate-messages` flag to separate the error messages
  produced by commands with a blank line. (ocaml/dune#6823, fixes ocaml/dune#6158, @esope)

- Accept the Ordered Set Language for the `modes` field in `library` stanzas
  (ocaml/dune#6611, @anmonteiro).

- dune install now respects --display quiet mode (ocaml/dune#7116, fixes ocaml/dune#4573, fixes
  ocaml/dune#7106, @Alizter)

- Stub shared libraries (dllXXX_stubs.so) in Dune-installed libraries could not
  be used as dependencies of libraries in the workspace (eg when compiling to
  bytecode and/or Javascript).  This is now fixed. (ocaml/dune#7151, @nojb)

- Allow the main module of a library with `(stdlib ...)` to depend on other
  libraries (ocaml/dune#7154, @anmonteiro).

- Bytecode executables built for JSOO are linked with `-noautolink` and no
  longer depend on the shared stubs of their dependent libraries (ocaml/dune#7156, @nojb)

- Added a new user action `(concurrent )` which is like `(progn )` but runs the
  actions concurrently. (ocaml/dune#6933, @Alizter)

- Allow `(stdlib ...)` to be used with `(wrapped false)` in library stanzas
  (ocaml/dune#7139, @anmonteiro).

- Allow parallel execution of inline tests partitions (ocaml/dune#7012, @hhugo)

- Support `(link_flags ...)` in `(cinaps ...)` stanza. (ocaml/dune#7423, fixes ocaml/dune#7416,
  @nojb)

- Allow `(package ...)` in any position within `(rule ...)` stanza (ocaml/dune#7445,
  @Leonidas-from-XIV)

- Always include `opam` files in the generated `.install` file. Previously, it
  would not be included whenever `(generate_opam_files true)` was set and the
  `.install` file wasn't yet generated. (ocaml/dune#7547, @rgrinberg)

  (ocaml/dune#1492, ocaml/dune#7734, @anmonteiro)

  directory of the context. (ocaml/dune#7655, @rgrinberg)

- Allow overriding the `ocaml` binary with findlib configuration (ocaml/dune#7648,
  @rgrinberg)

- Use `$PKG_CONFIG`, when set, to find the `pkg-config` binary  (ocaml/dune#7469, fixes
  ocaml/dune#2572, @anmonteiro)

- Modules that were declared in `(modules_without_implementation)`,
  `(private_modules)` or `(virtual_modules)` but not declared in `(modules)`
  will cause Dune to emit a warning which will become an error in 3.9. (ocaml/dune#7608,
  fixes ocaml/dune#7026, @Alizter)

- Dune in watch mode no longer builds concurrent rules in serial (ocaml/dune#7395
  @rgrinberg, @jchavarri)

- Dune can now detect Coq theories from outside the workspace. This allows for
  composition with installed theories (not necessarily installed with Dune).
  (ocaml/dune#7047, @Alizter, @ejgallego)

- `dune coq top` now correctly respects the project root when called from a
  subdirectory. However, absolute filenames passed to `dune coq top` are no
  longer supported (due to being buggy) (ocaml/dune#7357, fixes ocaml/dune#7344, @rlepigre and

- Coq language versions less 0.8 are deprecated, and will be removed
  in an upcoming Dune version. All users are required to migrate to
  `(coq lang 0.8)` which provides the right semantics for theories
  that have been globally installed, such as those coming from opam
