Cannot cross-compile to `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` from Apple M1

[setoelkahfi]

I'm trying to cross-compile a Rust lambda from an Apple M1 with no luck. I follow some tutorials on the internet (this, https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/1332)

What I did

• Add target 86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (rustup target add 86_64-unknown-linux-gnu).
• arch -arm64 brew install SergioBenitez/osxct/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
• Add .cargo/config.toml in the project directory.
• Install llvm arch -arm64 brew install llvm.
• Setup my ~/.zshrc for llvm.

  export RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-L/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/lib/c++ -C link-arg=-Wl,-rpath,/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/lib/c++"
  export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin:$PATH"

config.toml content:

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
linker = "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/7.2.0/bin/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc"

Result:

error: failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.20`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/Users/myhome/lambda-function/target/debug/build/ring-b3b2f6ac56d4de6c/build-script-build` (exit status: 101)

Any pointers?

having the same issue all of a sudden

[setoelkahfi]

I ended up using cross-rs for this purpose.

I ended up using cross-rs for this purpose.

unfortunately cross-rs produced binary did not work on my server due to version difference of glibc I ended up compiling the code on the server through ssh

i am having a similar issue:

      /opt/homebrew/Cellar/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/11.2.0_1/toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/11.2.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld.bfd: /Users/andremarques/Desktop/cybergate/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/deps/libring-1a2175460e1d939d.rlib(curve25519.o):/Users/andremarques/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/ring-0.16.20/crypto/curve25519/curve25519.c:520: more undefined references to `__stack_chk_guard' follow
      collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

= note: some extern functions couldn't be found; some native libraries may need to be installed or have their path specified = note: use the -l flag to specify native libraries to link = note: use the cargo:rustc-link-lib directive to specify the native libraries to link with Cargo (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#cargorustc-link-libkindname)

[cybersoulK]

it was working great before... (last time i tried was 3 months ago)

If you have unexpectedly have this issue while working in a workspace you might be helped by setting resolver = "2" in Cargo.toml https://nickb.dev/blog/cargo-workspace-and-the-feature-unification-pitfall/

[sbruton]

This resolved it for me:

RUSTFLAGS="-C link-args=-fstack-protector-all -lssp" cargo build ...

[vszakd]

This resolved it for me:

RUSTFLAGS="-C link-args=-fstack-protector-all -lssp" cargo build ...

Does not work for me: /opt/homebrew/bin/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld.bfd: -f may not be used without -shared. I am cross compiling to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu though.

[Colerar]

This issue seems resolved. I can cross compile from macOS to Linux without the -fstack-protector-all workaround with ring 0.17.5.

[Yatekii]

Not resolved at all :/ 0.17.7 does not build on M1 here :/ With none of the workarounds :/

Just as I wrote this:

export CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
export CXX_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu=x86_64-linux-gnu-g++
export AR_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu=x86_64-linux-gnu-ar

fixes it :)

but it needs libssp which is included in gcc-snapshot on ubuntu which is 5GB ...

= 注意：extern找不到某些函数；可能需要安装某些本机库或指定其路径 = 注意：使用-l标志指定要链接的本机库 = 注意：使用cargo:rustc-link-lib指令指定要与 Cargo 链接的本机库（请参阅https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#cargorustc-link-libkindname）

did you finaly solved this problem?

[ranile]

This issue still exists today when targeting x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu from a podman build (I assume docker is the same) on Apple Silicon
