Greetings Cameleers,
We’ve just released a new blog post: OCaml Onboarding: Introduction to the Dune build system
This is a practical, compact guide for those starting their OCaml and Dune journey — or helping others do so. Instead of diving into internals, we focus on what you need to know to get up and running with Dune confidently.
We walk through:
• How Dune thinks about builds and directories
• The role of dune files and static declarations
• The tooling one interacts with day-to-day
The post keeps things hands-on and beginner-focused, with just enough theory to make the practical bits stick. We end by circling back to dune init — showing how understanding the basics makes the scaffolding tool far more intuitive.
Read it on the OCamlPro Blog
Perfect for sharing with colleagues or newcomers dipping their toes into OCaml and Dune.
As always, feedback welcome!
Until next time,
— The OCamlPro Team
