Build error while running `make deps` with mirage/mirage-www

[davisuga]

I just cloned the mirageos website repo and run make switch (Which worked fine) and then make deps Output:

#=== ERROR while compiling digestif.1.1.1 =====================================#

It seems that this instruction: https://github.com/mirage/digestif/blob/7adc43cc8d1d80c2d9104dabd5730425b1b7ace8/digestif.opam#L32

Is not executed properly with OCaml. Not sure where is the error. I will try to look deeper and fix your issue.

@RyanGibb I suspect that you currently trying to compile mirageos (on another system) and I would like to know if you got the same issue as @davisuga.

Hi @dinosaure. I did not have this issue, but I was only compiling the mirage unikernel .

Actually I get a bunch of issues with external dependencies even at the make switch phase on NixOS.

Hmmhmm, I think the best is just to delete such code. I trying to figure out how long I can keep it and break the support of MirageOS 3 but this code is bad in anyway I will just delete it. Thanks for your patience @davisuga and hope that I did not block anything.
