Musl C lib support

[bobd988]

This may not be Dora specific, but there is a request to support OpenHarmony 4.x (OHOS). OHOS is not using glibc but musl C. Is there any solution that Dora can support operating system that uses musl C.

Have you tried compiling dora for a musl target, e.g. for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl? I just tried the following and it worked without error:

> rustup target install x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
> cargo build -p dora-cli --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

I compile it with target "x86_64-unknown-linux-ohos", then I get an error

It seems like that socket2-0.4.10 had not supported ohos yet (these should be supported in socket2-0.5.*). Too many crates are depend on it.

Please check rust-lang/socket2#451

In addition, to support ohos, we should modify the rust-toolchain.toml. rust-1.76 does not support x86_64-unknown-linux-ohos.

Ok, looks like we need to update some dependencies then.

In addition, to support ohos, we should modify the rust-toolchain.toml. rust-1.76 does not support x86_64-unknown-linux-ohos.

Is the version too new or too old? The target was addedd in rust-lang/rust#113061 , so it should be available in 1.76. If it's too old, you can easily compile the latest stable version using cargo +stable build or cargo +stable install. We don't want to change the rust-toolchain.toml currently because we don't want to accidentally use features that force users to use the very latest Rust version.

I just tried `` and the main error source seems to be the nix 0.23 dependency of https://docs.rs/raw_sync_2/latest/raw_sync_2/ . We probably need to update that crate to the latest nix version.

@haixuanTao You are author of the crates.io crate, but its repo link still points to the upstream repo. What is the repo of the forked crate?

I just type rustup target list | grep ohos, nothing works with rust 1.76.

[phil-opp]

Ah, looks like the stdlib is only available since rust-lang/compiler-team#719, which was released with rust 1.78. The cargo +stable commands I mentioned above should work though.

for rk3568 is armv7, we should use musl libc.

docker pull messense/rust-musl-cross:armv7-musleabi
docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src messense/rust-musl-cross:armv7-musleabihf bash
rustup target add armv7-unknown-linux-musleabi
cargo build -p dora-cli --release --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabi

so we can move ./dora/target/armv7-unknown-linux-musleabi/release/dora to rk3568.
another note: we should use dynamic link with C node

/path/to/dora/.cargo/config.toml
[target."armv7-unknown-linux-musleabi"]
rustflags = "-C target-feature=-crt-static"

and move libgcc_s.so.1 to rk3568:/lib

# in above docker container
the libgcc_s.so.1 path is  /usr/local/armv7-linux-musleabi/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 

[haixuanTao]

I can add arm-musl in our next github release so that it is easier to use dora within arm ohos.
