error: failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.20`

Question

I want to build rust 1.59 project with musl in macOS Monterey 12.3.1 with M1 chip, then I run this command:

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

but the project build output like this:

error: failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.20`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/Users/foo/source/reddwarf/backend/fortune/target/release/build/ring-98ce1debbcda4321/build-script-build` (exit status: 101)

why did this happen? is it possible to fix this problem? what should I do to fixed this problem?

Are you trying to cross-compile your program (compile for a target which is different from the host), or are you just trying to run it locally? – Grus

I am trying to cross compile, I just read the docs found it will be a little bit complex. I am still learning. I am not femiliar with these lib about musl. @JeremyMeadows – Cleareyed

Any update on this? I have a similar problem. How did you continue? – Horne

Ok, found it. Posted the answer below. – Horne

Answer 1

This is because most likely you forgot to install.

See if you have musl-gcc on the build host.

$ musl-gcc

Command 'musl-gcc' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install musl-tools

Building on Debian with musl-tools and then deploying on Alpine solved my problem. Thank you – Pick

is there a compatible tool on Windows? – Tarsus

Answer 2

I noticed that you've tagged "alpine-linux", I will assume you're using alpine.

In that case to get musl-gcc to work as mentioned by other commenter you'll need musl-dev package

apk add --no-cache musl-dev

This is how I solved my exact problem in alpine.

Anyone who is using the rust:1-alpine or similar image and facing the same issue, add the following to your Dockerfile

RUN apk update && \
    apk upgrade

RUN apk add --no-cache musl-dev

Answer 3

On Windows run this in the project dir:

rustup override set stable-msvc

Turns out, simply setting default toolchain was not enough as cargo would install the gnu version every time I ran cargo run.

Answer 4

You should be able to run cargo build with the commands below:

$ alias rust-musl-builder='docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src ekidd/rust-musl-builder'
$ rust-musl-builder cargo build --release

Answer 5

If you are on Windows, to solve this issue you need to be using WSL2. Run cargo build under wsl2 and your build will succeed without problems.
