Topic: ✔ can't compile wasmtime-cli

Hi, I'm trying to compile wasmtime but I get an error.
Am I missing a step to generate some code?

$ cargo build -p wasmtime-cli

The wasi-nn spec is sourced via a git submodule, which might be out of date with the implementation in your local wasmtime repo. Does a git submodule update --init help?

Marco Ieni (Apr 27 2024 at 20:23):

that worked, thanks! Should we add this somewhere in the readme maybe?

Peter Huene (Apr 27 2024 at 21:46):

It's currently documented here: https://docs.wasmtime.dev/contributing-building.html#git-submodules

Peter Huene (Apr 27 2024 at 21:46):

which is linked to in the README under the Contributing header

Oh nice. I was pair programming with a friend of mine, and neither I nor I found it. I wonder if this command could be run from build.rs to avoid requiring this manual step :see_no_evil:
Anyway, thank you for your help :)

Marco Ieni has marked this topic as resolved.

multiple redirects isn't the easiest way to discover things, I agree.

@Marco Ieni, I just saw this issue and had been thinking of doing this for a bit: the only reason wasi-nn pulls from a submodule is because other WASI crates did so. But they've moved toward duplicating the WIT files in-tree so I decided that would be good here as well. The following change removes the submodule you ran into: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/8519. Hopefully that removes this common "forgot to pull submodules" trip-up!

that's great, thank you :heart:
