[bug] Tauri fails to compile when having RocksDB as a dependency on MacOS

[arnau]

Describe the bug

npm run tauri build fails on MacOS (x86) when rust-rocksdb exists as a dependency (direct or indirect). However, when running cargo build --release beforehand, the build succeeds.

Reproduction

1. Create new Tauri app using npm create tauri-app
2. Add RocksDB as a dependency cd src-tauri; cargo add rocksdb
3. Build the application npm run tauri build

Expected behavior

When running npm run tauri build I expect it to succeed when running on MacOS.

Additional context

I encountered this issue when testing Sentio on MacOS. Sentio uses SurrealDB with RocksDB as backend and works fine on Windows and Linux.

After wrestling with the issue for a bit I got a minimal test that reproduces the issue: https://github.com/arnau/pipe

The repo above runs two jobs, one that runs npm run tauri build and another that before doing that runs cargo build --release. The first job fails on MacOS but the second succeeds which makes me think something is happening behind the scenes with npm run tauri build. I can't be certain though, hence me opening this issue, in case someone can shed light to it.

I had same problem when I used rocksdb 0.19, try downgrading to rocksdb 0.18

[arnau]

Thanks @glen0125, I can confirm it works when using rocksdb 0.18. This adds up to the inconsistent behaviour observed 🤔

Does it help if you set https://tauri.app/v1/api/config/#macconfig.minimumsystemversion to 10.14 or 10.15?

[andrewmoore-nz]

Can confirm... for anyone hitting this issue, changing the minimumSystemVersion, in my case to 12.0 solved the build error I was getting with RocksDB.

"macOS": {
    ...
    "minimumSystemVersion": "12.0"
},
