Failed to build dune 3.16.1

[LaicepS]

I'm unable to install a recent version of dune required by ocaml-lsp-server.
Note: if there is another way to have ocaml-lsp-server installed and working with the Coc plugin, that would be very helpful.

Expected Behavior

opam install dune.3.16.1

Succeed.

Actual Behavior

[ERROR] The compilation of dune.3.16.1 failed at "./_boot/dune.exe build dune.install --release --profile dune-bootstrap -j 15".

Reproduction

I guess it is an error in my environment.

IIRC, in CoC (used it a while ago…) as long as you install ocaml-lsp-server, the LSP plugin should pick the correct one, isn't it? Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce your error... It might be indeed related to the environment.

As we only support the latest version of Dune, doesn't it work with dune.3.17.1?
