Refresh the Ocaml package examples; document useDune2
(#127520)
The current example in the manual no longer builds, mainly because `useDune2 = true` is required, but also because the inputs have changed. The new examples are copied verbatim from nixpkgs.

|
||||
|
||||
Given that most of the OCaml ecosystem is now built with dune, nixpkgs includes a convenience build support function called `buildDunePackage` that will build an OCaml package using dune, OCaml and findlib and any additional dependencies provided as `buildInputs` or `propagatedBuildInputs`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a simple package example. It defines an (optional) attribute `minimumOCamlVersion` that will be used to throw a descriptive evaluation error if building with an older OCaml is attempted. It uses the `fetchFromGitHub` fetcher to get its source. It sets the `doCheck` (optional) attribute to `true` which means that tests will be run with `dune runtest -p angstrom` after the build (`dune build -p angstrom`) is complete. It uses `alcotest` as a build input (because it is needed to run the tests) and `bigstringaf` and `result` as propagated build inputs (thus they will also be available to libraries depending on this library). The library will be installed using the `angstrom.install` file that dune generates.

Here is a simple package example.
|
||||
|
||||
- It defines an (optional) attribute `minimalOCamlVersion` that will be used to
|
||||
throw a descriptive evaluation error if building with an older OCaml is
|
||||
attempted.
|
||||
|
||||
- It uses the `fetchFromGitHub` fetcher to get its source.
|
||||
|
||||
- `useDune2 = true` ensures that the latest version of Dune is used for the
|
||||
build (this may become the default value in a future release).
|
||||
|
||||
- It sets the optional `doCheck` attribute such that tests will be run with
|
||||
`dune runtest -p angstrom` after the build (`dune build -p angstrom`) is
|
||||
complete, but only if the Ocaml version is at at least `"4.05"`.
|
||||
|
||||
- It uses the package `ocaml-syntax-shims` as a build input, `alcotest` and
|
||||
`ppx_let` as check inputs (because they are needed to run the tests), and
|
||||
`bigstringaf` and `result` as propagated build inputs (thus they will also be
|
||||
available to libraries depending on this library).
|
||||
|
||||
- The library will be installed using the `angstrom.install` file that dune
|
||||
generates.

Here is a second example, this time using a source archive generated with `dune-release`. It is a good idea to use this archive when it is available as it will usually contain substituted variables such as a `%%VERSION%%` field. This library does not depend on any other OCaml library and no tests are run after building it.
