Description

When following https://github.com/moby/hyperkit#building on macOS 10.12 with --switch=4.07.0 I'm getting this error:

...
ml src/lib/mirage_block_ocaml.ml                                                                                                
ocamlfind: Package `cstruct.lwt' not found                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
make: *** [build/lib/mirage_block_ocaml.o] Error 2 

I need to replace the dot in cstruct.lwt with a hyphen. Is it something with my environment?

Research direction

Follow the hyperkit building instructions on macOS 10.12 with --switch=4.07.0 and reproduce the failure at src/lib/mirage_block_ocaml.ml, where the build/lib/mirage_block_ocaml.o target reports that cstruct.lwt is missing. Inspect the build configuration and package reference, then verify that the build completes without the package-not-found error.
