error: linker rust-lld not found

I installed Rust on my Raspberry pi3 but when i tried hello-world example from this page.
https://rustwasm.github.io/book/hello-world.html
it shows this error

pi@raspberrypi:~/RustTuts/hello-world $

Hm, there was some changes around this recently: intermezzOS/kernel@f341033

But that's in target specs, which you don't have.

What's your `rustc +nightly --version'?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rustc +nightly --version
rustc 1.29.0-nightly (64f7de9 2018-07-12)

Looks like docs are outdated, could you try installing llvm-tools-preview component?

rustup component add llvm-tools-preview --toolchain=nightly

@mati865 I installed llvm-tools-preview but error remains the same

Indeed issue affects arm but not x86.
For x86_64 rust-lld is located in /rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustc/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ while on arm /rust-nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/rustc/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ doesn't even exist.

@japaric

As per #48125 rust-lld is shipped only for Tier 1 platforms.
If somebody knows if it's fine to enable it for ARMs builds it's @japaric

actually that would be @alexcrichton. If it were for me I would enable LLD everywhere it can be built but I don't know how that would affect CI time.

PR #48125 says:

Like Emscripten the LLD target is currently only enabled for Tier 1 platforms,
notably OSX/Windows/Linux, and will need to be installed manually for compiling
to wasm on other platforms.

So you would have to install LLD on ARM Linux if want to compile to wasm. After #51936 you would have to pass -C linker=lld to rustc to use system LLD, or we would have to add logic to rustc to make it fallback to system LLD if rust-lld is not available in the sysroot. However, system LLD may not work if it's "too old" (e.g. installed via package manager) because, as of #51966, the wasm target expects LLD ~7.0.

Yes currently we unfortunately don't have enough time on CI to produce these artifacts for all platforms, only those with self-hosted compilers (which build one fewer compiler than the cross-compiled platforms)

Bah... compiling rust-lld on a rpi3 might prove difficult/more time consuming that on CI. 😭

I've run into this problem in that I can't generate wasm on arm64.

I'm testing this change to the build flags to see just how long Travis will take: https://github.com/vielmetti/rust/pull/1/commits/684f997e40038729d865e6e0cab59b8f50b99f79

Based on Plume-org/Plume#394 I can recommend this script as being suitable for installing the lld dependency:

https://github.com/mcrosson/Plume/blob/master/script/wasm-deps.sh

and then you invoke with RUSTFLAGS="-C linker=lld" cargo buildper the example at

https://github.com/mcrosson/Plume/blob/master/script/plume-front.sh

The note in the PR at Plume-org/Plume#402 says

The rust wasm packages do NOT include rustc-lld for arm
The lld binaries published by llvm.org will NOT build plume-front with linker=lld rust args
lld built from sources (what this patch does) on arm DOES build plume-front with linker=lld rust args

For the record, LLVM 8 lld is good enough, but LLVM 7 lld isn't. In Nix, one can just add llvmPackages_8.lld to nativeBuildInputs and set RUSTFLAGS = "-C linker=lld"; in the derivation.

I'm going to close this as it's not really an actionable issue at this point.

@alexcrichton

@alexcrichton I know the Rust's CI situation has changed a bit since this issue was first opened. Is it still the case that there isn't enough CI time available to build LLVM tools for (at least some) tier 2 platforms?

Unfortunately we haven't had any major changes to CI in the meantime.

I don't want to spam this issue, but I wanted to ask if the situation maybe changed with the switch to GitHub actions?

Also, is there any tracking issue for things blocked on CI capacity? In a quick search, I found #42639, #57438, and #59637, but there are probably more.
