package dkml-component-offline-opam

staging-opam32, staging-opam64 and offline-opam

The staging-opam32 and staging-opam64 components make available the Opam binaries (opam, opam-installer and on Windows opam-putenv) in the staging-files directory.

The offline-opam component will install the Opam binaries from staging-opam32 on 32-bit machines into the end-user's installation prefix, and from staging-opam64 on 64-bit machines.

These are components that can be used with dkml-install-api to generate installers.

dkml-component-staging-opam32 and dkml-component-staging-opam64

These components vary by whether distribute 32-bit or 64-bit executables. Sometimes we only distribute 64-bit for a host operating system (ex. macOS).

Executables

On Windows the binaries will end with .exe.

For a given ABI (ex. darwin_arm64) only one of opam32 or opam64's bin/opam will be present.

If you need to copy these from staging to the end-user's installation prefix, you should copy the entire %{staging-opam32:share-abi}%/bin and %{staging-opam64:share-abi}%/bin directories (one will be empty) as they may contain DLLs and shared libraries necessary for their operation.

Documentation

Man pages. The man pages will only be available if the corresponding executable is available in the 32-bit or 64-bit form. If both 32-bit and 64-bit are available, the man pages will be duplicated.

Usage

FIRST, add a dependency to your .opam file:

depends: [
  "dkml-component-staging-opam"   {>= "2.1.0"}
  # ...
]

SECOND, add the package to your currently selected Opam switch:

opam install dkml-component-staging-opam
# Alternatively, if on Windows and you have Diskuv OCaml, then:
#   with-dkml opam install dkml-component-staging-opam

Be prepared to wait several minutes while one or more Opam is being compiled for your machine.
