"Linking with cc failed" - trying to cargo compile rust-based find-fd on OmniOS#145

I need to run rust-based fd-find.

Instead of bothering the super-busy Joyent/pkgsrc devs (by the way thank you for ripgrep!), I thought of compiling it using cargo.

On OmniOS r151026 with pkgsrc 2018Q2,

root@omnios:~# uname -a
SunOS omnios 5.11 omnios-r151026-d258f672aa i86pc i386 i86pc

I have successfully installed rust and gcc,

root@omnios:~# rustc --version
rustc 1.27.0

root@omnios:~# cc --version
cc (GCC) 7.3.0
Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

Also, I have this as $PATH

root@omnios:~# echo $PATH
/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Still, trying to install fd-find using cargo I get errors like error: linking with cc failed: exit code: 1,

[more similar errors]

It seems like cargo does not see cc?

Could somebody point to me pages or tips on how to solve this?

It would be good for others to know too, as quite a few very nice tools are developed in rust nowadays.

Thank you in advance.

    The error here is this line:

      = note: ld: fatal: file crt1.o: open failed: No such file or directory

    This file belongs in /usr/lib and needs to be provided by the OS, I think on OmniOS it is in the "gcc-runtime" package but I am not sure. Install the relevant package and things should work.

    Thank you for quick reply. After installing proper OmniOS tooling, ld error disappear, while cc failed error remains, with no explanation. It seems there's some kind of "impedence mismatch" between pkgsrc and OmniOS native packages. I will investigate this further and report back.

    I am back as promised. It turns out it was not a missing dependency, but rather an issue with nix missing Illumos/Solaris Bindings.

    Since I am able to compile smoothly other rust apps, like ripgrep's latest version, I hope that issue will solve this as well.

    @priyadarshan btw here are the missing pieces in libc needed by nix:
    papertigers/libc@6b9b207

    I have also hacked nix to a state where it can compile and I was able to successfully build fd-find on illumos. It seems to function correctly and all of its tests pass via cargo test.

    Next steps:

    • Validate the libc crate changes look sane. I used awk to generate some of it.
    • Fix nix properly. Currently a lot of tests fail on my first pass.

    Thank you so much for the enormous work.
    I am sure many, including the open nix issue will benefit.
