fix(build): stop the Windows cargo env values from breaking Linux builds#516EtienneLescot wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
crates/.cargo/config.toml sets FFMPEG_DIR and LIBCLANG_PATH in a global [env] because cargo has no [target.<cfg>.env] — the macOS section in that file is inert, and cargo says so on every invocation. Both values are Windows ones, so they are also set on Linux, where they point at paths that do not exist. build.rs already compensated for macOS and never did for Linux, so a bare `cargo check -p openscreen-compositor` failed on a stock Ubuntu: clang-sys takes LIBCLANG_PATH at its word, finds nothing under C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin and gives up with "Unable to find libclang" even though a distro libclang.so is almost always installed. Past that, FFMPEG_DIR still named the win64 tree, so vendoring the Linux one at the conventional location did not help either. Give Linux the same treatment macOS already had. Drop a LIBCLANG_PATH that holds no libclang rather than letting it sabotage clang-sys's own search, and accept FFMPEG_DIR only when it points at a tree that really exists, falling back to thirdparty/ffmpeg-linux64-lgpl-shared — the same order, and the same location, that scripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs already resolves, so a bare cargo check and an npm build see the same tree. The vendored-tree lookup is now shared with the macOS branch instead of being written twice, and the panic that fires when nothing resolves finally names Linux alongside the other two. Verified on Linux: cargo check succeeds with no manual environment at all, and the 146 lib tests pass. cargo test still needs LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the ffmpeg .so files, which is a separate matter from this env leak.

Candidate selection filtered on include/ alone, but the linkage section below puts a rustc-link-search on <tree>/lib and asks for avformat/avcodec/avutil/ swscale/swresample. So a tree carrying only headers was accepted, which also stopped the fallback from reaching a complete vendored tree, and the build then failed much later on an error that does not name its cause. resolveFfmpegDir() in scripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs already checks both, so this is the same rule on both sides rather than a new one. Reproduced with an FFMPEG_DIR holding include/ and no lib/: before, that tree won and the build failed; now it is skipped and the vendored tree is used.

…p libclang-cpp
drop_unusable_libclang_path only ever called read_dir on the value, so a
LIBCLANG_PATH pointing straight at /usr/lib/llvm-N/lib/libclang.so.1 was treated
as unusable and removed. clang-sys accepts both forms — search_libclang_directories
checks "if the path is a matching file" before checking for a directory containing
one — so that was a working setup being thrown away.
The filename test was also too loose: it matched libclang-cpp.so.10, which
clang-sys explicitly refuses (filename.contains("-cpp.")) because libclang_shared
was renamed libclang-cpp in Clang 10. Keeping such a path preserved something
clang-sys would reject straight after.
Both rules now mirror clang-sys rather than approximating it. Verified against
clang-sys 1.9.1 sources, and by exercising the selection on this machine: a
Windows path, a real file, a real directory, a directory holding only
libclang-cpp, and a missing path all resolve as intended.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 5 remain after this review.
The predicate tested a prefix and a substring, so it also accepted names
clang-sys never matches — libclang_extra.so (underscore, not the dash the
libclang-*.so pattern wants) and libclang.software (".so" happens to be a
substring of ".software").
That is not cosmetic, because search_libclang_directories stops at
LIBCLANG_PATH once the variable is set — "Search only the path indicated by the
relevant environment variable" — and never falls back to llvm-config, PATH or
the known directories. Keeping a directory that holds only a near-miss name
would therefore doom the build exactly the way the Windows value did, which is
the whole failure this function exists to prevent.
Now matches the four real patterns: libclang.so, libclang-<v>.so,
libclang.so.<v>, libclang-<v>.so.<v>, with an empty <v> rejected and
libclang-cpp.* still excluded.
Verified on the predicate itself, near-misses included: the five accepted forms
plus libclang-cpp.so.10, libclang_extra.so, libclang.software, libclang-.so,
libclangfoo and clang.so all resolve as intended. cargo check passes with
LIBCLANG_PATH unset, set to the Windows value, to a library file and to a
directory; 146 lib tests pass.

read_dir also yields subdirectories and special files, so the name-only test would accept a directory called libclang.so. clang-sys globs by name too, so it would select that entry, fail to load it, and — since it never falls back once LIBCLANG_PATH is set — take the build down with it. Removing the variable instead lets its normal search find a real libclang. Checked both ways: a directory holding a subdirectory named libclang.so is now dropped and the build succeeds through the fallback, while a real /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib is still kept. 146 lib tests pass.

cargo check -p openscreen-compositorfails on a stock Linux box, and has for a while. Two agents hit it independently this week, both concluding the crate simply can't be built here without hand-setting environment variables.What's wrong
crates/.cargo/config.tomlsetsFFMPEG_DIRandLIBCLANG_PATHin a global[env], because cargo has no[target.<cfg>.env]. The macOS section in that file is inert — cargo printswarning: unused key 'env' in [target] config tableon every invocation to say so. Both values are Windows ones, so they're set on Linux too, pointing at paths that don't exist.build.rsalready compensates for macOS.point_libclang_at_the_xcode_toolchain()exists for exactly this, and its own comment says it drops the Windows value "plutôt que la laisser saboter la découverte par défaut de clang-sys". Linux never got the equivalent, so:LIBCLANG_PATHat its word, finds nothing underC:\Program Files\LLVM\bin, and gives up withUnable to find libclang— even though a distrolibclang.sois almost always installed and clang-sys would have found it on its own.FFMPEG_DIRstill names the win64 tree, so vendoring the Linux one at the conventional location doesn't help either. I verified this: withthirdparty/ffmpeg-linux64-lgpl-sharedcorrectly in place, the build still failed.Both halves are the same defect, which is why they're in one PR — fixing only libclang moves the failure down by one line.
What this does
Gives Linux the treatment macOS already had:
LIBCLANG_PATHthat holds no libclang, instead of letting it sabotage clang-sys's own search. A value a developer set deliberately and that actually works is left alone.FFMPEG_DIRonly when it points at a tree that really exists, falling back tothirdparty/ffmpeg-linux64-lgpl-shared— the same order and the same locationscripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjsalready resolves, so a barecargo checkand an npm build agree on the tree.crates/.cargo/config.tomlgains a comment explaining that its values are Windows-only and neutralised inbuild.rs, so the next reader doesn't have to rediscover it.Verified
cargo check -p openscreen-compositorsucceeds on Linux with no manual environment at all, given the vendored Linux ffmpeg tree.cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib— 146 passed, 0 failed.libavformat/avformat.h: No such file or directory.build.rsis rustfmt-clean. The rest of the crate isn't, which predates this.macOS and Windows behaviour is unchanged by construction: the macOS branch keeps its exact resolution order, and nothing in the Windows path is touched. Neither was built here.
Not in scope
cargo teststill needsLD_LIBRARY_PATHfor the ffmpeg.sofiles. That's runtime linking, not this env leak — acargo:rustc-link-arg=-Wl,-rpath,…would fix it separately.[target.'cfg(target_os = "macos")'.env]section is inert and is what produces cargo's warning on every command. Two lines to delete if we want the silence.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
