rust如何在Mac OS上交叉编译openssL库？

Question

When I was compiling a Linux binary on MacOS, I encountered this problem: It looks like the rust library "openssl-sys v0.9.61" is bound to the C library of MacOS. can't link to linux.

cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
   Compiling openssl-sys v0.9.61
error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.61`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `~/test/../bin/release/build/openssl-sys-96148dcd52905249/build-script-main` (exit status: 101)

  Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this `-sys` crate cannot
  proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had
  trouble finding it,  you can set the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable for the
  compilation process.

  Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed.
  For example, `libssl-dev` on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` on Fedora.

  If you're in a situation where you think the directory *should* be found
  automatically, please open a bug at https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl
  and include information about your system as well as this message.

It's true that you need to determine which rust dependencies use openssl during the cross compile link phase. In my project, reqwest and mysql dependencies apparently use them when cross-compiling. I had a similar issue when cross-compiling from my mac to x86_64 or aarch64 (arm) linux targets on my mac m1. The linker was failing when linking to openssl.. The trick is to add openssl crate to your project. There is good information here: https://docs.rs/openssl/latest/openssl/

here are the steps with other helpful links also:

1.rustup add target  (this is AMD64 linux)
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

for (arm7 linux)
rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl



1(a) add the xplatform linker
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross

for x86 and arm7 support:
brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross --with-aarch64 --with-x86_64

1(b) add openssl crate
https://docs.rs/openssl/latest/openssl/

may need to install openssl (see directions)
brew install openssl@1.1

[dependencies]
openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }

2. modify ~/.cargo/config.toml

add link targets
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl]
linker = "x86_64-linux-musl-gcc"

[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-musl]
linker = "aarch64-linux-musl-gcc"

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]  - notneeded
linker = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc"

3. export TARGET_CC

x86_64:
export TARGET_CC=x86_64-linux-musl-gcc

for arm7:
export TARGET_CC=aarch64-linux-musl-gcc

4. compiling openssl
include the openssl crate:
openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }

5. build for target
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

cargo build --target aarch64-unknown-linux-musl

The first step is to determine which dependency is using openssl, which you can do with crate tree :

crate tree --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl -i openssl-sys

In my case this identified the rusoto_core crate as the one depending on it. Some crates can be compiled with feature flags to use alternate TLS libraries, making them easier to use than OpenSSL.

For example, Rusoto enables rustls like this in the Cargo.toml :

rusoto_core = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}
rusoto_s3 = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}
rusoto_sqs = {version = "0.42.0", default_features = false, features=["rustls"]}

In the Rusoto case, there is documentation for cross-compiling for use with AWS Lambda: https://rusoto.org/lambdas.html

Alternately, you may be able to provide cross-compiled OpenSSL to the compiler, but from what I understand this is more difficult and poorly documented at this time.
