cbindgen-0.16.0 (Wait for TB and FF updates)

[Bruce Dubbs]

New patch version.

[Douglas R. Reno]

This now seems to be 0.16.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

This version breaks thunderbird and firefox. These are the only apps that use this package.

Put this in hold until TB and FF release new versions that support it.

Fixed for 78.6.1 by ​https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr78/rev/140e5caa92c3 and for 78.7.0 by ​https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr78/rev/a1f99bfc3ee5

so we should be good to go when both firefox and thunderbird have released one of those versions.

Firefox was updated to 78.6.1 in r24080.

Still waiting for a thunderbird release of 78.6.1 or 78.7.0.

Thunderbird was updated to 78.6.1 in r24109 so this should be good to go.

I have compiled firefox 78.6.1 using cbindgen 0.15.0, but was only able to do so using

export CC=clang CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS="-static-libstdc++"

With g++, I always got cbindgen errors, is that a known issue or did I mess up somewhere else?

Looks like a completely new problem. 0.15.0 was fine for me, and I think I successfully ran a build of 78.6.1 with 0.16.0, but did not install. Are you using any of the "extra" options that the book offers ? I don't use any of them. I also normally use -O3 on my development machine, but that doesn't seem to relate to your problem. Any details of the errors ?

Meanwhile, I've successfully built firefox-78.7.0 build candidate 1 with cbindgen-0.16.0 (due out next week, there might be a later candidate that invalidates this build).

Now testing thunderbird 78.6.1 to confirm it builds with cbindgen-0.16.0 (Arch implies it does, but this wouldn't be the first time that something in AUR was broken ;)

Yes, thunderbird-78.6.1 built fine with cbindgen-0.16.0 and rustc-1.47.0.

I got:

 0:09.70 checking for clang for bindgen... not found
 0:09.70 checking for libclang for bindgen... not found
 0:09.70 ERROR: Could not find clang to generate run bindings for C/C++. Please install the necessary packages, run `mach bootstrap`, or use --with-clang-path to give the location of clang.
 0:09.75 *** Fix above errors and then restart with\
 0:09.75                "./mach build"
 0:09.75 make: *** [client.mk:115: configure] Error 1

I have llvm/clang under /opt/llvm11, only enabling it when needed by

pathappend /opt/llvm11/bin

, so maybe this alone is the cause. Will try again with enabling clang, but still using g++

So, it turns out this was all my fault, it builds fine with gcc after calling

pathappend /opt/llvm11/bin

before the build. Sorry for the noise.

Bruce, would you like me to take this ?
