Rust crate custom build command fails at CMake Deprication Warning - rust

While compiling the crate expat-sys v2.1.6, the custom build command failed with status 101 and the following under --- stderr:
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:6 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

my current cmake version is 3.25.1, my rustc version is 1.66.0 and my OS is Fedora 37
cmake was installed recently without any configuration
While I was trying to learn how to use WGPU using this tutorial, the build failed while compiling dependencies. I'm unfamiliar with CMake so I don't know how to read it's errors very well.

After further digging (asking ChatGPT for help), I tried installing expat-devel and it compiled.

pkg-config error during Rust cross-compilation

I am getting this error when I try to cross-compile some Rust; does anyone know what I should be doing?
This happens when I run cargo build --target aarch64, I get:
Compiling glib-sys v0.10.1
error: failed to run custom build command for `glib-sys v0.10.1`
...
pkg-config has not been configured to support cross-compilation.
Install a sysroot for the target platform and configure it via
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR and PKG_CONFIG_PATH, or install a
cross-compiling wrapper for pkg-config and set it via
PKG_CONFIG environment variable.
I might have asked this before a year or so ago, but anyway I cannot find any answer. I have tried adding various lines to my Cargo.toml but nothing seems to help.
The relevant part of Cargo.toml has:
[target.'cfg(target_os = "android")'.dependencies]
cairo = "0.0.4"
freetype = "0.7.0"
glib = "0.14.2"
openssl = "0.10.36"
openssl-sys = {version = "0.9.66", features = ["vendored"]}
There is probably a one-line answer to this; can anyone help me please.
You could try adding feature vendored for the openssl crate.
openssl = { version = "0.10.35", features = ["vendored"] }
reference
I'm also new to rust so there may be some mistakes in my answer.
So the warning suggests that the pkg-config is not correctly set, which suggests that this is not a rust issue, it's a pkg-config issue.
If you check the doc of pkg-config, you might see there's an environment variable called PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR which "is useful for cross compilation". What you'll need to do is to run cargo with this environment set, e.g. PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/ cargo build, where /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 contains all the file necessary for cross build for windows (as you can see from the name).
I'm not sure how to cross compile for aarch64, and I'm not sure how to add environment variable for cargo build, but I hope my experience above can give you some hint.

How do I cross-compile openssL libraries on Mac OS by rust?

When I was compiling a Linux binary on MacOS, I encountered this problem:

I found that some people also encountered this problem:
https://www.andrew-thorburn.com/cross-compiling-a-simple-rust-web-app/
It's true that you need to determine which rust dependencies use openssl during the cross compile link phase. In my project, reqwest and mysql dependencies apparently use them when cross-compiling. I had a similar issue when cross-compiling from my mac to x86_64 or aarch64 (arm) linux targets on my mac m1. The linker was failing when linking to openssl.. The trick is to add openssl crate to your project. There is good information here: https://docs.rs/openssl/latest/openssl/
here are the steps with other helpful links also:
1.rustup add target (this is AMD64 linux)
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
for (arm7 linux)
rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
1(a) add the xplatform linker
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross
for x86 and arm7 support:
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross --with-aarch64 --with-x86_64
1(b) add openssl crate
https://docs.rs/openssl/latest/openssl/
may need to install openssl (see directions)
brew install openssl#1.1
[dependencies]
openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }
2. modify ~/.cargo/config.toml
add link targets
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl]
linker = "x86_64-linux-musl-gcc"
[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-musl]
linker = "aarch64-linux-musl-gcc"
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] - notneeded
linker = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc"
3. export TARGET_CC
x86_64:
export TARGET_CC=x86_64-linux-musl-gcc
for arm7:
export TARGET_CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc
4. compiling openssl
include the openssl crate:
openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }
5. build for target
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
The first step is to determine which dependency is using openssl, which you can do with crate tree:
crate tree --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl -i openssl-sys
In my case this identified the rusoto_core crate as the one depending on it. Some crates can be compiled with feature flags to use alternate TLS libraries, making them easier to use than OpenSSL.
For example, Rusoto enables rustls like this in the Cargo.toml:
rusoto_core = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}
rusoto_s3 = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}
rusoto_sqs = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}
In the Rusoto case, there is documentation for cross-compiling for use with AWS Lambda: https://rusoto.org/lambdas.html
Alternately, you may be able to provide cross-compiled OpenSSL to the compiler, but from what I understand this is more difficult and poorly documented at this time.

"given version requirement is invalid" while downloading dependencies

Following this example:
$ cargo build --verbose
Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
failed to parse registry's information for: wayland-client
Caused by:
the given version requirement is invalid
This happens on every example and builds from other repos. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I installed Cargo and Rustc through apt. Using versions: rustc 1.7.0 and cargo 0.8.0.
My Cargo.toml from the example:
[package]
name = "spinning-square"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = [
"TyOverby <ty#pre-alpha.com>",
"Nikita Pekin <contact#nikitapek.in>"
]
[[bin]]
name = "spinning-square"
[dependencies]
piston = "0.31.1"
piston2d-graphics = "0.21.1"
pistoncore-glutin_window = "0.35.0"
piston2d-opengl_graphics = "0.40.0"
I ended up using
$ sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
and then it started to work. However, I do not know if this is the true solution because I removed libsdl2 and it continued to work after that. A theory of mine is that because Piston uses sdl2, it corrected something to make it work, maybe.
If anyone has found a better solution for the next guy to have issues, I'll leave this post unanswered for a while longer.

How to build an executable that depends on curl for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

$HOST = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

All works well when I build natively, i.e. cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Searching around, I learned about an environment variable, PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS:
PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=true cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
In doing that, I also found that I was missing the Debian package
named libcurl4-openssl-dev.
Running ldd target/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debug/foo
indicated the executable is dynamically linked, then searching
further, I learned about another environment variable,
PKG_CONFIG_ALL_STATIC:
PKG_CONFIG_ALL_STATIC=true PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=true cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
That revealed a whole bunch of missing deps, all of which (luckily)
had Debian dependencies. But installing all of them did not help, as,
in the end, I was still sitting with an executable that wasn't
statically linked .
I gave in and ended up using cross:
cargo install cross
cross build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
This was just too easy, and you will find the executable in target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debug.
The curl crate depends (directly or indirectly) on the two crates libz-sys and openssl-sys.
A crate whose name ends in "-sys" is generally a set of FFI (foreign function interface) bindings to a native C library.
Building such a "-sys" crate requires linking to the native library. If your target is x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, then you must link to a native library built against musl, not glic. However, most of the packages you will find in the repositories of your distribution provide libraries built against glibc.
The solution is to build yourself the libraries you need, linking to musl instead of glibc.
I don't have access to a Debian installation, but on Ubuntu 16.04 this looks like this for OpenSSL:
# this package provides the "musl-gcc" wrapper
apt-get install musl-tools
# you will also need these, if they are not installed yet
apt-get install pkg-config xutils-dev build-essential
# Download and build OpenSSL against musl
VERS=1.0.2j
export CC=musl-gcc
export MUSL_PREFIX=/usr/local/musl
export C_INCLUDE_PATH="$MUSL_PREFIX/include/"
curl -O https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-$VERS.tar.gz
tar xvzf openssl-$VERS.tar.gz
cd openssl-$VERS
./config --prefix "$MUSL_PREFIX"
make depend
make
sudo make install
export OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/local/musl/
export OPENSSL_STATIC=1
Once you have one the same for libz (I haven't tried to built it), you should then be able to build your crate:
cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
and the resulting binary will be in target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/debug/<binary_name>
The cross tool does basically this, but inside a Docker container as to keep your host machine clean.
The binary produced by this build should be statically linked, and not depend even on glibc. This also means that it will be bigger* and that you will need to take care yourself of upgrading any dependency (especially OpenSSL) if a security issue is found in one of them.
*You may want to use strip on the released binary.

openssl version seems OK:
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8zg 14 July 2015
I don't know what I have to do in order to make this installation work and give Iron a try.
As of rust-openssl version 0.8, Homebrew-installed OpenSSL libraries will be automatically detected by the crate, there is no need to set extra environment variables.
If you need to support a version prior to that or choose to not use Homebrew, read on.
This is a known issue (also this and this), but not one that the crate can fix.
The quick solution is to install OpenSSL with Homebrew and then explicitly point to the directories where OpenSSL is found by setting the OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR and OPENSSL_LIB_DIR environment variables:
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2e/include \
OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2e/lib \
cargo build
If you've already done one cargo build, you will need to run cargo clean first to clear our some stale cached information.
If you don't want to set this for every shell you open, add it to your shell initialization files (like ~/.bash_profile). You can make it a bit less brittle by not hard-coding the version number:
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib
If you don't want to use Homebrew, follow the same process but using the appropriate path to your copy of OpenSSL.
The longer reason is well described by andrewtj:
OpenSSL doesn't have a stable ABI so for compatibility purposes Apple have maintained a fork that's compatible with one of the earlier ABIs. They deprecated OpenSSL in 10.7 and finally dropped the headers in 10.11 to push OS X app developers toward bundling their own OpenSSL or using their frameworks. The dylibs have been left around so apps that haven't been updated don't break. You can still link against them but you're opening yourself up to odd compatibility issues by doing so (unless you grab the headers from an earlier OS X release).
With Brew use like this:
brew install openssl
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib
cargo clean
cargo build
If you have homebrew's openssl installed just add the following to your Cargo.toml:
[target.x86_64-apple-darwin.openssl-sys]
rustc-link-search = [ "/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" ]
rustc-link-lib = [ "ssl", "crypto" ]
include = [ "/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" ]
and then cargo clean && cargo build. No breaking OS X by introducing an incompatible openssl into the library load paths, and no forgetting to set/unset environment variables when you want to build (or polluting your shell env when not working on Rust stuff). All in all a much happier and less infuriating approach.
I can't add this answer to my own question where it belongs (because it depends on homebrew), because Shepmaster decided it should be closed but I'll answer here and link to that question.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/39380733/1317564's answer for MacPorts:
