Ocaml can't find Unix module
unix
library is not linked by default, so you need to pass some linking flags, to make it work, e.g.,
ocamlc unix.cma fork.ml -o fork
If you don't want to know anything about cma
, you can use ocamlbuild
, instead of ocamlc:
ocamlbuild -lib unix fork.native
Or even more general
ocamlbuild -pkg unix fork.native
The latter (with pkg
option) would be a preferred way, since it will allow you to specify any package installed with opam
. E.g., if you would ever try to use lwt
, the you can just link with it with
ocamlbuild -pkg lwt fork.native
