Arch Linux User Repository

@medaminezghal Version 1.1.1 builds in a clean chroot without git, clang and cmake and without any issue too. Thanks!

@medaminezghal I noticed now that you removed them. Do you build the package in a way that avoid git, clang and cmake requirements? You could add these instructions to the PKGBUILD, if so. The current instructions use them while building boring-sys2 for rquest.

@medaminezghal the package cannot be built without them. You can check it with either pkgctl build:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-primp.git
$ pkgctl build python-primp/
...

@marmis Why should I add them?

Nevermind. I was editing and building different PKGBUILDs. I'm now able to build in a clean chroot with makepends=(... 'git' 'clang' 'cmake'). @medaminezghal could you maybe add those dependencies to your PKGBUILD?

I can't build this in a clean chroot anymore:

  thread 'main' (5088) panicked at /build/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/boring-sys2-4.15.11/build/main.rs:570:44:
  called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The error is on https://github.com/0x676e67/boring2/blob/v4.15.11/boring-sys/build/main.rs#L570, caused by an unwrap on ensure_patches_applied(), which executes git internally. So I tried to add git to makedepends, but still got the same error.

I can build it outside of a chroot, that's why I think this might be missing dependencies.

@arzeth your comment was misleading on my setup. Whenever I tried to force using clang I god an liker error.

I haven't used mold either.

My default compiler is GCC:

However without clang installed I got:

  thread 'main' (470953) panicked at /home/user/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/bindgen-0.70.1/lib.rs:622:27:
  Unable to find libclang: "couldn't find any valid shared libraries matching: ['libclang.so', 'libclang-*.so', 'libclang.so.*', 'libclang-*.so.*'], set the `LIBCLANG_PATH` environment variable to a path where one of these files can be found (invalid: [])"

pacman -S clang

So I guess clang should be in the dependency list.

Without mold, but with clang installed. I got it compiled and linked. However I couldn't pass the pytest.

I had to replace that export RUSTFLAGS line with:

    export CC="clang"
    export CXX="clang++"
    export RUSTFLAGS="$RUSTFLAGS -Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=mold -Clink-arg=-flto"

because after

Building [=======================> ] 273/274: primp

I was getting

error: linking with `/usr/bin/clang` failed: exit status: 1

Please make sure you added -flto not only when creating object files but also when linking the final executable.

@haxibami The solution didn't work for primp 0.15.0

Thanks! Should be fixed now.
