Check that Dune help commands that understand BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP to rewrite the current working directory: $ echo '(lang dune 3.0)' > dune-project $ cat > dune <<"EOF" > (rule > (target x) > (action (system "dune_cmd rewrite-path $PWD; touch x"))) > EOF $ dune build /workspace_root It works with sandboxing as well: $ dune clean $ dune build --sandbox copy /workspace_root
