Open ORESoftware opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

this command failed:

opam exec -- dune exec ./server.exe

because dune was not installed

kinda uncool, the output should say:

try "opam install dune"  

you know, as a hint..

The problem of course is that in opam you don't know what a package installs before hand. A bad hint is more annoying than no hint in my opinion.

ok ok, but dune is so common, should be a hint even if its wrong 1% its right 99% of time so its best to hint us before we splint us
