cargo build --release but ran into the following build issues. Am I missing something?

that looks like you may be running out of memory, you can try running it with less parallelism which may reduce the amount of memory necessary to build it by using cargo build --release -jN where N is the amount of parallelism you want, e.g. -j4 for using 4 cores. iirc the M1 has 8 cores so defaults to -j8
Nihal Pasham (Jun 07 2024 at 12:25):I actually have an M1 Max with 10 cores but I’ll try the above and report back.
Nihal Pasham (Jun 07 2024 at 12:48):So tried this but I don't think that's the issue
cargo build --release -j4

it kind of seems similar to this - https://users.rust-lang.org/t/error-failed-to-run-custom-build-command-for-libc-v0-2-150/103006/7
Nihal Pasham (Jun 07 2024 at 13:06):nope - a restart did not work
Nihal Pasham (Jun 07 2024 at 14:54):I can confirm that debug builds seem to work just fine while release builds fail to run custom build commands/scripts (on Apple Silicon).
Not sure if I'm missing something but I presume a debug build of islec is good enough for learning.

sorry, if that didn't fix it, idk what the issue is, someone more familiar with macos and wasmtime will need to help.
Chris Fallin (Jun 07 2024 at 20:23):Do you have a third-party binutils from Nix in your PATH by chance? I had this issue once where binaries were not signed (every binary on aarch64 macOS needs an ad-hoc sig) and were thus immediately killed by the kernel
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 02:42):I think this may be the issue. Although, I'm not sure how to solve it. Usually, we should get a prompt asking the user if he wants to continue with a custom build script but that does not happen in my case.
I use homebrew for package installation (i.e. have not used Nix so far).
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 02:51):but what's weird is debug builds work without any such issues

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a “prompt asking the user” from Cargo in this case? The build script is necessary: it generates part of Cranelift.
Are you able to build and run an ordinary rust binary (e.g. hello world) in your environment?
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 03:17):yes, a simple hello-world release build works
cargo build --release

Ok. I saw your answer about homebrew but didn’t see anything specifically to my question: do you have a custom binutils (or C compiler) in your $PATH? If so can you run without it?
Chris Fallin (Jun 08 2024 at 04:26):Also: any custom linker configuration, eg in your systemwide cargo configuration?
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 04:34):Oh, I have one custom ref to gcc binutils in my $PATH and some homebrew utils refs. Here is the output for $PATH

Should I remove them and try compiling? Why would this be a problem?
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 05:16):Ok, this worked. I removed all references to custom homebrew binutils in my $PATH.
Nihal Pasham (Jun 08 2024 at 05:23):PS: This was not a cranelift build issue. Any Cargo install relying on a custom build was failing. Apparently, having binutils in one's $PATH can cause issues when building in release mode. We could end up stripping debugging info using strip from Homebrew's binutils instead of picking the right one from /usr/bin.
Frank Rehwinkel (Jun 08 2024 at 11:49):Maybe cargo-component should have a doctor sub-command that can check things about the environment. Seems what can be found in $PATH and its affects on the LLVM linker has caused cargo builds to fail for years. This is more of a cargo issue than a cargo-component issue but what are the odds of getting a change into cargo?
Chris Fallin (Jun 08 2024 at 12:48):There is a cargo issue for it at least (closed, alas): https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/11641
Chris Fallin (Jun 08 2024 at 12:49):The core issue is that the third-party binutils doesn’t understand how to sign macOS binaries so in some sense it’s actually a binutils bug
Chris Fallin (Jun 08 2024 at 12:49):(The strip binary specifically)
Frank Rehwinkel (Jun 08 2024 at 13:38):@Chris Fallin You've helped others in the past month or so where it was an LLVM linker issue that was silently picking up a different binary to use in one of its steps if it found it in $PATH but worked just fine without the binary in the path. That one may not have been macOS binary specific but also something rust didn't have direct control over because it was an LLVM issue that had been open a while with no clear path to getting changed.
Chris Fallin (Jun 08 2024 at 13:52):Ah, the wasm-opt nondeterminism! Yes, like you I don’t have a bunch of hope that upstream will change easily, or at least not without more energy than I have at the moment. Would be good to continue to note the issues to upstream nevertheless…
