Error: linking with cc failed

[jklukas]

When trying to compile this project for the first time and run tests, I ran into some linking error.

I ran the documented instructions:

$ docker-compose -f dev/docker-compose.yaml up -d
$ cargo test

The docker-compose configuration launched successfully, but cargo test failed with:

I'm running on a new M1 Macbook Pro which could well be related. Do we know of anybody who has been doing development on merino using an Apple Silicon machine?

Ah, I don't think anyone has been using Apple Silicon to work on Merino yet. I think in theory this should work, so it might worth figuring out what's going on here. That being said, I don't have access to Apple SIlicon, so it would be difficult for me to debug directly. This is certainly a strange issue!

Could you paste the entire compilation log onto something like https://paste.mozilla.org and send it to me?

Sent. I can also try running in a terminal in Rosetta mode, but I'd likely need to learn more about clearing out build cache, and potentially keep a separate install of rust for Rosetta.

[mythmon]

Clearing the build cache is simple: cargo clean. Often however Rust will automatically store it's built artifacts in different places for different architectures, so you may not even need to do that. As for running rust in Rosetta mode, I can't offer any suggestions there.

[pjenvey]

This sounds like this issue rust-lang/rust#90342

It offers a workaround: cargo clean, then retry again w/ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7.

Feel free to reopen this if that doesn't solve it.
