# libsodium Build Failure - FINAL FIX
|
|
|
|
## The Problem
|
|
`libsodium-sys-stable v1.24.0` build script was failing with:
|
|
```
|
|
thread 'main' panicked at build.rs:539:13:
|
|
libsodium not found via pkg-config or vcpkg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Root Cause Analysis
|
|
|
|
After 12 hours of attempts, the issue is clear:
|
|
|
|
### Build Script Logic (from libsodium-sys-stable/build.rs)
|
|
The build script checks in priority order:
|
|
1. **SODIUM_LIB_DIR** - if set, use that path directly (HIGHEST PRIORITY)
|
|
2. **SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG** - if set, try pkg-config/vcpkg
|
|
3. **Fallback** - try to build from source
|
|
|
|
### Previous Failed Approaches
|
|
1. **PR #101, #102**: Tried pkg-config environment variables - failed because pkg-config couldn't find libsodium in containers
|
|
2. **PR with use-pkg-config feature**: Enabled the feature but pkg-config still failed to locate libraries
|
|
|
|
### Why pkg-config Failed
|
|
- Container images have libsodium installed but pkg-config can't find the .pc files
|
|
- Cross-compilation adds complexity to pkg-config searches
|
|
- Different containers have different pkg-config configurations
|
|
|
|
## The Solution
|
|
|
|
**Use SODIUM_LIB_DIR to bypass pkg-config entirely.**
|
|
|
|
This directly tells the build script where libsodium is installed, skipping all detection logic.
|
|
|
|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
### test.yml (Rust tests)
|
|
Added to ALL cargo commands:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
env:
|
|
SODIUM_LIB_DIR: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### auto-tag.yml (Release builds)
|
|
|
|
**Linux x86_64:**
|
|
```yaml
|
|
SODIUM_LIB_DIR: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Linux aarch64:**
|
|
```yaml
|
|
SODIUM_LIB_DIR: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Windows MinGW:**
|
|
```yaml
|
|
SODIUM_LIB_DIR: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**macOS:** No change needed (already works)
|
|
|
|
## Why This Will Work
|
|
|
|
1. **SODIUM_LIB_DIR has highest priority** in build.rs - checked BEFORE pkg-config
|
|
2. **Direct path** - no detection, no guessing, no pkg-config configuration issues
|
|
3. **Already confirmed** - the original working Windows build used this exact approach
|
|
4. **Simple** - one environment variable per platform
|
|
|
|
## Branch Info
|
|
- **Branch:** `fix/libsodium-direct-path`
|
|
- **Base:** `beta`
|
|
- **Commits:** 1 atomic commit
|
|
- **Files Changed:** 2 (.gitea/workflows/test.yml, .gitea/workflows/auto-tag.yml)
|
|
|
|
## Testing Status
|
|
- ⏳ Awaiting CI pipeline results
|
|
- Expected: ALL builds (Linux x86, Linux ARM, Windows, macOS) will succeed
|
|
- Expected: ALL test jobs (fmt, clippy, tests) will succeed
|
|
|
|
## If This Still Fails
|
|
|
|
The only remaining possibility would be:
|
|
1. Libsodium is NOT actually installed in the containers (verify with `dpkg -L libsodium-dev`)
|
|
2. The library path is wrong (verify with `find /usr -name "libsodium.*"`)
|
|
|
|
But based on previous error messages showing pkg-config attempts, libsodium IS installed - we just need to tell the build script where it is.

**Approach:** Direct library path specification
|
|
**Confidence:** HIGH - This is the intended workaround when pkg-config fails

|
## Update History
|
|
|
|
### Commit 1: Initial SODIUM_LIB_DIR implementation
|
|
Added SODIUM_LIB_DIR to all workflows, but conflicted with existing use-pkg-config feature.
|
|
|
|
### Commit 2: Remove conflicting feature
|
|
Removed `libsodium-sys-stable = { version = "1.24", features = ["use-pkg-config"] }` from Cargo.toml.
|
|
The build script doesn't allow both SODIUM_LIB_DIR and SODIUM_USE_PKG_CONFIG simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
### Commit 3: Refactor to job-level env
|
|
Moved SODIUM_LIB_DIR from per-step env to job-level env in test.yml for consistency and to ensure ALL cargo commands (including `cargo generate-lockfile`) have access to it.
|
|
|
|
## Final State
|
|
|
|
**Branch commits:**
|
|
1. `863868b2` - fix(ci): use SODIUM_LIB_DIR to bypass pkg-config detection
|
|
2. `b20deab3` - fix: remove use-pkg-config feature conflicting with SODIUM_LIB_DIR
|
|
3. `1172f201` - refactor(ci): move SODIUM_LIB_DIR to job-level env
|
|
|
|
**Files modified:**
|
|
- `.gitea/workflows/test.yml` - SODIUM_LIB_DIR at job level for 3 Rust jobs
|
|
- `.gitea/workflows/auto-tag.yml` - SODIUM_LIB_DIR in Build steps for all platforms
|
|
- `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` - Removed conflicting use-pkg-config dependency
|
|
- `src-tauri/Cargo.lock` - Updated after dependency removal
|
