@nojb any idea what could wrong on WSL?

[emillon]

@p0lunin do you have any network access in WSL? For example does ping 8.8.8.8 or ping google.fr work?

hi. Is this still an issue? I suspect that it's due to the fairly old version of the wsl kernel involved. I had a quick look at the kernel sources if WSL adds something particular in bind, but doesn't seem so.
I would recommend using a more recent ubuntu version if that's an option.

Error: bind(): Invalid argument

[emillon]

That's super useful, thanks.

Can you install strace (or run under nix-shell -p strace I guess?) and run the following command:

$ strace -e bind dune build -w 

and interrupt the process with Ctrl-C

There should be a line like:

bind(10, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="_build/.rpc/dune"}, 18) = 0

What does it display?

[emillon]

(alternatively, strace -e bind -o bind.strace dune build -w, interrupt and post the contents of bind.strace)
