rustc-1.19.0 make install fails with "could not find native static library lzma"

[dschepler]

Using the same build process that worked for me with rustc-1.18.0:

mkdir obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu
../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make -j8
make install DESTDIR=/home/daniel/src/rustc/rustc-1.19.0/debian/tmp

This gave errors:

   Compiling error-chain v0.10.0
error: could not find native static library `lzma`, perhaps an -L flag is missing?

error: Could not compile `lzma-sys`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Oddly, after this failure, I found a directory /home/daniel/src/rustc/rustc-1.19.0/debian/tmp/home/daniel/src/rustc/rustc-1.19.0/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage0-tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/build/lzma-sys-21cbe9c072a2ac8f/out/ within the DESTDIR.

(By the way, this is for my own homebrew one-user "distribution", not for official Debian or Ubuntu, etc., packaging.)

You'll need to have a copy of liblzma around on your system: https://tukaani.org/xz/

[dschepler]

I do have liblzma on my system:

I've got the same error trying to build rust 1.19.0. And I do have liblzma too:

[Pulfer]

Looks like liblzma.a is just not installed to rustc-1.19.0-src/build/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/stage0-tools/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/release/build/lzma-sys-307e68ecb4275fe2/out/lib/

Still failing for me with 1.20.0

[fefe17]

I have the same issue when attempting to compile rustc 1.20 on amd64-linux.
When I tried jury-rigging the build by manually putting the liblzma.a into the path suggested by Pulfer above, the build still failed:

= note: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/7.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/rustc-1.20.0-src/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage0-tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/deps/liblzma_sys-0be566c65e5be899.rlib(liblzma_la-common.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against .rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/7.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/rustc-1.20.0-src/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage0-tools/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/deps/liblzma_sys-0be566c65e5be899.rlib(liblzma_la-stream_encoder.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against .rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Any many more of this same error message.

Note that there is a liblzma.a falling out of the build process. Using that instead of the system one yields the same error messages.

Also note that I'm using my own distro here, which uses a stock gcc with no patches. In particular, the default mode is -fno-pic, as the GNU project is shipping gcc.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

I do not know that this is a Rust issue, though? It looks like it would more likely be the fault of liblzma-sys and should be reported there.

[saintdev]

@Mark-Simulacrum The issue only happens when compiling rustc from source. I can create an empty project, add xz2 to the dependencies in the Cargo.toml, and lzma_sys compiles just fine. However when I attempt to make install in the rust sources, it fails to build rust-installer, with the above error.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

Could you clone this repo and try to reproduce that way?

[saintdev]

@Mark-Simulacrum On stable branch rust-installer fails to build both with and without --enable-vendor.

On master rust-installer builds without --enable-vendor. I was not able to test with --enable-vendor on master because bootstrap complains about the vendored dependencies created by the current version of cargo vendor.

[paulmenzel]

Has there been any progress regarding this issue? Installing Rust 1.19.0 from source fails here too.

Bootstrapping 1.20.0 with 1.19.0 using Rust official stage0 (2017-07-20). xz-devel provides liblzma.a:

The liblzma libset built with -fPIC by default.

[paulmenzel]

Rust 1.21.0 with lzma-sys v0.1.8 seems to build fine. No idea, how to tell Rust 1.19.0 to use the newer lzma-sys.

[jyn514]

I'm going to close this since past Rust releases are immutable; I haven't heard anyone mention this being a problem since 1.19.
