Allow globbing in the install stanza #6018
Closed
Comments
See #5059 for installable directories. I think there's an open issue about globbing in install but I can't find it at the moment. |
#6139 will enable it but through the use of a generator. |

…ne-site, dune-rpc, dune-rpc-lwt, dune-private-libs, dune-glob, dune-configurator, dune-build-info, dune-action-plugin and chrome-trace (3.6.0) CHANGES: - Forbid multiple instances of dune running concurrently in the same workspace. (ocaml/dune#6360, fixes ocaml/dune#236, @rgrinberg) - Allow promoting into source directories specified by `subdir` (ocaml/dune#6404, fixes ocaml/dune#3502, @rgrinberg) - Make dune describe workspace return the correct root path (ocaml/dune#6380, fixes ocaml/dune#6379, @esope) - Introduce a `$ dune ocaml top-module` subcommand to load modules directly without sealing them behind the signature. (ocaml/dune#5940, @rgrinberg) - [ctypes] do not mangle user written names in the ctypes stanza (ocaml/dune#6374, fixes ocaml/dune#5561, @rgrinberg) - Support `CLICOLOR` and `CLICOLOR_FORCE` to enable/disable/force ANSI colors. (ocaml/dune#6340, fixes ocaml/dune#6323, @MisterDA). - Forbid private libraries with `(package ..)` set from depending on private libraries that don't belong to a package (ocaml/dune#6385, fixes ocaml/dune#6153, @rgrinberg) - Allow `Byte_complete` binaries to be installable (ocaml/dune#4873, @AltGr, @rgrinberg) - Revive `$ dune external-lib-deps` under `$ dune describe external-lib-deps`. (ocaml/dune#6045, @moyodiallo) - Fix running inline tests in bytecode mode (ocaml/dune#5622, fixes ocaml/dune#5515, @dariusf) - [ctypes] always re-run `pkg-config` because we aren't tracking its external dependencies (ocaml/dune#6052, @rgrinberg) - [ctypes] remove dependency on configurator in the generated rules (ocaml/dune#6052, @rgrinberg) - Build progress status now shows number of failed jobs (ocaml/dune#6242, @Alizter) - Allow absolute build directories to find public executables. For example, those specified with `(deps %{bin:...})` (ocaml/dune#6326, @anmonteiro) - Create a fake socket file `_build/.rpc/dune` on windows to allow rpc clients to connect using the build directory. (ocaml/dune#6329, @rgrinberg) - Prevent crash if absolute paths are used in the install stanza and in recursive globs. These cases now result in a user error. (ocaml/dune#6331, @gridbugs) - Add `(glob_files <glob>)` and `(glob_files_rec <glob>)` terms to the `files` field of the `install` stanza (ocaml/dune#6250, closes ocaml/dune#6018, @gridbugs) - Allow `:standard` in the `(modules)` field of the `coq.pp` stanza (ocaml/dune#6229, fixes ocaml/dune#2414, @Alizter) - Fix passing of flags to dune coq top (ocaml/dune#6369, fixes ocaml/dune#6366, @Alizter) - Extend the promotion CLI to a `dune promotion` group: `dune promote` is moved to `dune promotion apply` (the former still works) and the new `dune promotion diff` command can be used to just display the promotion without applying it. (ocaml/dune#6160, fixes ocaml/dune#5368, @emillon)

Desired Behavior
Instead if fails with
Justification
Sometimes we just want to install all data files from a certain directory, like all *.png files or lisp codes, etc. Other build systems, e.g., oasis, cmake, autotools commonly allow this, so this sounds as an expected feature for a build system. Right now I have to enumerate each file which bloats the dune file and makes it easy to forget to include a file.
Alternatives
Other build systems allow the installation of directories, which might (or might not) be easier to implement.
Workarounds
Right now I just abuse Emacs
C-u M-| ls
to include all files in the directory, but if there are any other options (like generating the installation files) or some stanza that I am missing, the I will be happy to learn.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
