Hi,
It appears that jbuilder will silently only choose to install one instance per library name even if multiple exists with different public names.
Example:
- in directory ‘lib_foo’ I define a library with name ‘lib’ and public_name ‘x.foo’
- in directory ‘lib_bar’ I define a library with name ‘lib’ and public_name ‘x.bar’
- in the root I have ‘x.opam’ file.
In this case jbuilder build @install; jbuilder install will silently only install x.foo, and will ignore the existence of x.bar. No warnings or errors are printed. If I dump the rules from jbuilder (jbuilder rules) the rules for generating the meta file includes both libraries, but running jbuilder install installs only one library and writes a different meta file compared to the one dumped when running jbuilder rules.
I do understand that it is bad practice to create modules that cannot be used together in the same compilation unit, but for the time being I would really like to have this. Is there a way to force jbulder to install both libraries anyways abd keep the name ‘lib’ for both? I would rather not require users of my library to rewrite all code to use Lib_foo or Lib_bar for now.
