If you want to have a configure step in Dune, you usually write an executable 
using dune.configurator https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configurator.html 
which will be called by a rule to generate some targets which are then used in 
your build (e.g. using the variable read-lines 
https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dune-files.html#variables-expansion or 
(:include ...)).

See for example how config/discover.ml is used to detect the fortran compiler 
for odepack — https://github.com/Chris00/ocaml-odepack

Best,
