[Caml-list] Help using unix library?

[Steve Stevenson]

Good afternoon:

     I have references to the unix library using ocaml 3.01. The make
file has

     ebv0: $(BASICOBJECTS)
	ocamlc -g -o ebv0 unix.cma $(BASICOBJECTS)
	cp ebv0 Test/ebv0

where BASICOBJECTS are all ocaml .cmo files. The complaint is

Fatal error: this bytecode file cannot run on this bytecode interpreter
Mismatch on primitive `unix_dup'

Does this sound like an installation problem or a mistake in my
coding? I'm not using dup.

Best regards,

steve

Try

ocamlc -custom -g -o ebv0 unix.cma $(BASICOBJECTS)

This makes ebv0 a bit larger, but avoids that problem because ebv0 contains the
bytecode interpreter that is able to execute the code. By default (without
-custom), the generated executable uses the distributed ocamlrun interpreter.

Another solution is to create the right interpreter:

ocamlc -make-runtime -o myinterpreter unix.cma

(you must enumerate all libraries that refer to additional C libraries), then

ocamlc -use-runtime myintepreter -g -o ebv0 unix.cma $(BASICOBJECTS)

But you loose the portability of the bytecode by doing this. This may not be a
problem for you though.
