dune tool to compile

[Chris00]

Make a plugin to use jbuilder as a Buildtool.

Not sure I have time to implement this. If anyone is interested in implementing this feature, ping this thread first.

would be nice to promote a sane replacement for ocalmbuild so that the whole community can switch to it ...

I guess this can be closed now, since not relevant anymore.

jbuilder -> dune should do the trick.

I start to have plan to provide a tool to migrate _oasis to dune, if it makes sense.

[XVilka]

Yes, migration tool would be more helpful and important, I think. Especially for a big projects split in many small parts with many oasis files.

@XVilka In my cases, I often had some additional code in myocamlbuild so migration by hand was needed. Before taking the time to write such a tool, an a inquiry on the forum would be useful I think — not sure it is the non-existence of such a tool that prevents migration...

[gildor478]

@Chris00 yes, we need to ask the rest of the community. I think the tool itself will mostly be used by me (I will have a couple of projects to convert).

What is really important is to give a clear signal that we encourage people to look at Dune.

@gildor478 I think BAP project will be happy to use this tool as well: BinaryAnalysisPlatform/bap#917

I also asked on the community discourse: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/will-you-use-oasis-dune-migration-tool/4213
