@mgautierfr How do you suggest we proceed? Given that v8.2.1 can be compiled from source correctly (see sample run here and outcome of test on this here), can we adjust the build pipeline for libzim.a
here to match? If we can identify exactly which source packages are different, we can eliminate them one-by-one until we identify the culprit.
More info on testing: tests of basic functions (loading ZIM, checking article count, loading an article by path, searching with Xapian) can be run against compiled versions of the WASM either from libzim.a
or from source code. See instructions here: https://github.com/openzim/javascript-libzim#tests. Any libzim.a
can be easily compiled by placing it in /build/lib/
, making sure nothing else is there, and any previously built WASMs are removed (e.g. by running make clean
first), then following the (updated) instructions to build with docker here: https://github.com/openzim/javascript-libzim#steps-to-recompile-from-source-with-docker (despite the title of those instructions, if libzim.a
is already in /build/lib
, it shouldn't attempt to recompile it).
I'm happy to do any testing.
Can you test with https://tmp.kiwix.org/ci/dev_preview/update_icu/libzim_wasm-emscripten-2023-10-25.tar.gz ?
This is a test build with ICU 71.1. Not yet ready for publishing but I least we could know if it is the root cause.
Thanks, will do.
@mgautierfr Yay!
I'll make a test PR to see if I can replicate this on GitHub, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Just good to double-check.
Thank you!
Confirmed on GitHub with this run:
https://github.com/openzim/javascript-libzim/actions/runs/6645686934/job/18057535301
Also passing when built as a release artefact (rather than as a nightly). Not actually released of course. See https://github.com/openzim/javascript-libzim/pull/63#issuecomment-1780018137.
Good to know ! It confirms it is a ICU version issue. We have to update it to a recent version but it may take a bit of time as it has impact in the way we publish kiwix-android.
@mgautierfr No problem. Possibly it could be used in the nightly release first, or would that break the Android nightly build chain? It would allow the javascript-libzim nightlies to start working again.

@mgautierfr Please create a dedicated ticket so we understand all the challenges. We will anyway put this high on the prio list.
@mgautierfr What is the status? Is this ticket fixed by https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build/pull/642 ? @Jaifroid All good with the last nightly builds?
@kelson42 Yes last nightly build succeeded. As far as I'm concerned, this ticket can be closed.
