I have been working through Harvard's CS51 class using materials available online. I'm trying to start the final project and downloaded the necessary files, but when I try to compile them I get the following error:
Error: Module `Unix' is unavailable (required by `Thread')
Command exited with code 2.
Compilation unsuccessful after building 18 targets (15 cached) in 00:00:00.
I have not made any changes to the code I downloaded yet and supposedly I should be able to compile it successfully in its current state. Any ideas why I might be getting this error?
Just add
open Unix;;
at the very start of your.ml file
Generally, you have to explicitly ask to be linked to the Unix
module.
The following program:
$ cat main.ml
Unix.gethostname () |> print_endline
would need to be built like this:
$ ocamlfind opt -linkpkg -package unix -o main main.ml; echo $?
0
whereas the bare minimum would fail with a similar error as yours:
$ ocamlopt -o main main.ml; echo $?
File "main.ml", line 1:
Error: No implementations provided for the following modules:
Unix referenced from main.cmx
2
That said, it looks like you're using Core
, in which case (as well as most other cases, actually) you're probably better off with dune
:
$ cat dune
(executable
(name main)
(libraries unix))
$ dune build main.exe
$ ./_build/default/main.exe
amam-oy
However, if you ask Dune to link you to Core
, Unix
is already included automatically, so the following dune
file would also work for the above program:
$ cat dune
(executable
(name main)
(libraries core))
