Research direction

No documentation file or test is named. Compare the current build instructions with the reported macOS commands, then verify the dependency requirements around mirage.3.6.0 and the missing OS module. Done means the documented setup reliably builds on the reported environment or clearly states the required version.

Description

On my Mac OS X v10.15.7 (19H1824) I had to do

opam init \
  && eval $(opam env) \
  && opam pin add qcow.0.11.0 https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-qcow.git -n \
  && opam pin add qcow-tool.0.11.0 https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-qcow.git -n \
  && opam install uri qcow.0.11.0 conduit.2.1.0 lwt.5.3.0 qcow-tool.0.11.0 mirage.3.6.0 mirage-block-unix.2.12.0 \
            conf-libev logs fmt mirage-unix prometheus-app

to make this build. The notable difference is the addition of mirage.3.6.0. I'm not sure that exactly v3.6.0 is needed. I just took a version of the same age as other versioned packages. Without this addition compilation bails out due to the OS module missing.
