I think @JayKobe6k's suggestion is the easiest way of installing and keeping this package updated. Here's what I did to install this:

Remove google-drive-ocamlfuse and its dependencies (this is necessary to have a clean install of ocamlbuild via opam) and install opam via pacman (this will also reinstall ocaml, see instructions here). Then you may run:

> opam init
> eval $(opam env)
> opam install google-drive-ocamlfuse

opam init creates a folder at ~/.opam, where it keeps the google-drive-ocamlfuse executable and other stuff. It will ask to be added to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc script. Seems to be really easy to use, kinda like cargo (Rust), npm (JavaScript) and conda (Python).

I received this message when I tried to update this to the latest version:

==> Starting build()... File "src/config.ml", line 1: Error: The files src/.google_drive_ocamlfuse.objs/byte/utils.cmi and /usr/lib/ocaml/curl/curl.cmi make inconsistent assumptions over interface Curl ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

This package is generally a nightmare. Opam is the package manager for ocaml and it is much easier to use for installing this package. This package expects specific versions of things to be installed which causes lots of issues, while the opam version is more aware of its build environment and figures out the dependencies properly.

Probably better to just look here: https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/google-drive-ocamlfuse/

Fails to build on the latest version (running Manjaro here). It worked fine on version 0.7.26

I encountered an error while updating "google-drive-ocamlfuse" package. I also tried rebuilding dependencies but I got the same error.

Does anyone encounter the same error or have a solution for this?

This package can be difficult to build on a system you've already built it, after dependencies get updated.

Some users have had luck removing things in a certain way, in order to rebuild. For example, see: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gapi-ocaml/

I use a build server to build cleanly every time.

Have looked everywhere but can't seem to be able to figure out how to build it. I've tried going through and installing the dune libraries that it requests to no avail.

ocaml-cryptokit is failing to build on most recent ocaml, due to ocamlbuild needing a rebuild, see for details https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocaml-cryptokit/#comment-778235

~~you can either build ocamlbuild from ABS against newest ocaml, or wait~~

dependent package has been fixed, ocaml-cryptokit now builds, and google-drive-ocamlfuse confirmed successful build.
