Static build fail on Macbook ARM (Mx)

[neckaros]

I get the following error while trying to compile:

note: ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lm'
          ld: library 'stdc++' not found
          clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

my cargo.toml is as follow:

[package]
name = "rs-heic"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
libheif-sys = { version = "3.1.0", features = ["compile-libheif", "embedded-libheif-plugins"] }
image = "0.24"
anyhow = "1.0"

[build-dependencies]
cmake = "0.1.52"

I tried adding

[build]
rustflags = ["-C", "link-args=-lc++"]

to my cargo but to no effect

full error:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this error - I don't have any Apple device.

Did you try to find this error in the Internet? May be something like this will help you.

[neckaros]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately it did not help. Working well on windows not sure what is blocking on Mac. Seems there is an hard dependency somewhere to stdc++ which is not supported on modern Macs

[neckaros]

When i look at the build output of the libheif-sys i find that stdc++ linked (build finish without issues):

Not sure where it's comming from...

[Cykooz]

I have some suspicions that the default build configuration of libheif builds not only library but additional things such as CLI tools and plugin for GTK that creates thumbnails.

I will try to find how to disable building these unnecessary things.

[Cykooz]

Could you try to use libheif-sys from dev brach?

[neckaros]

Hey thanks!

So I tried: libheif-sys = { git = "https://github.com/Cykooz/libheif-sys", features = ["compile-libheif", "embedded-libheif-plugins"], branch = "dev"}
and i still get the issue (each test i did cargo clean before cargo build)
But I tried So i tried: libheif-sys = { git = "https://github.com/Cykooz/libheif-sys", features = ["compile-libheif"], branch = "dev"}
and it compiled! (not with master branch version I verified)

Nice find with the example! Would it help if i forked your dev code dans tried removing plugins from the build rs to isolate a problematic one?

Would it help if i forked your dev code dans tried removing plugins from the build rs to isolate a problematic one?

I think it will be useful if you try to find what plugin is responsible for the problem.
