Sorry, this is probably a naive question: I'd like to build stdlib and run coqide using dune

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:11):

What I did: make -f Makefile.dune world && dune exec dev/shim/coqide-prelude

Unfortunately, the second command triggered some recompilation and now Require Importon an stdlib file complains about inconsistent assumptions.

We should have something to disable those checks, they're way too sensitive
also debugging when dune unexpectedly recompiles something is way too occult

I have a POC branch somewhere on my tree to do that, I hacked that a long time ago because I was fed up with recompilation.

(that was not for dune, but to override the check)

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:16):

but the real problem here is not the check

why did the second command recompile vo files?

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:17):

alternatively, is there a documentation of the dune commands for typical workflows like this?

I read dev/doc/build-system.dune.md, but couldn't find how to build stdlib

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 24 2020 at 17:30):

I think dune build path/to/file.vo should rebuild the .vo.

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:57):

but I precisely don't want to rebuild the vo

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 17:57):

as it is not outdated

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 24 2020 at 18:05):

ah ok, I thought you had a broken vo file to repair (without recompiling everything)

view this post on Zulip Maxime Dénès (Sep 24 2020 at 18:24):

no, I just want to launch CoqIDE after having built stdlib

Umm, the second command should not do any rebuild, did you modify any file meanwhile?

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:58):

the *-prelude shims only depend on Coq.Prelude.Init thus they won't rebuild the rest of the stdlib

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:58):

we could have a coqide-stdlib which checks the stdlib is updated

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

indeed building the stdlib is just building all *.vo files

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

usually building the coq package will do it [or the coq-stdlib one would we split]

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 18:59):

we can add an alias for that if it is convenient

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Sep 24 2020 at 19:00):

the way I checked dune exec -- dev/shim/coqide-prelude didn't rebuild anything is by looking at _build/log
