The code expects to be compiling with clang, but this looks like it’s calling the GNU ld in your case.

But if we can I think we should make that work.

Oh really, that seems backwards. Maybe it is calling clang but ends up using the GNU ld anyway. Then it really sounds like a bug.

I am happy to test things out but full disclaimer: my knowledge of anything clang/gcc/ld/rust/wasm is very limited. Let me know if I can provide more info.

This seems to be a consequence of allowing use of the system-installed clang instead of always installing the WASI SDK. But the question is whether it would be fine to just export all symbols and not just the one, since the ld version you have installed doesn't support the --export argument. I will have to test this when I have more time.

Apologies, haven't tested #64 properly. Could you check if it works for you on #84?

Your branch solved the issue with ld, but it seems it now throws a different error regarding tree-sitter. This also happens with other extensions not just the c3 one.

The compilation probably also need to pass the --sysroot=/path/to/sysroot flag, but I am not sure what path to pass in there.

Quoting the WASI SDK documentation:

One could also use a standard Clang installation, build a sysroot from the sources mentioned above, and compile with --target=wasm32-wasi --sysroot=/path/to/sysroot. In this scenario, one would also need the libclang_rt.*.a objects available separately in the release downloads which must be extracted into $CLANG_INSTALL_DIR/$CLANG_VERSION/lib/.

Checked with Debian forky, Fedora 43, and Alpine edge: Debian doesn't need a sysroot, but only builds wasm32-wasi and not wasm32-wasip2; Fedora needs a sysroot to /usr/wasm32-wasi and even then it looks like wasm32 compiler-rt is not available, Alpine needs a sysroot to /usr/share/wasi-sysroot.

We could easily check a list of common paths, but a list of needed packages will be very different per distro (libclang-rt-dev-wasm32, wasi-libc-devel, for some examples), and what is actually available also differs.

I think the easiest solution for now would be to download just a sysroot from wasi-sdk.

I have made it so that we download the WASI sysroot even if we find a compatible compiler installed.

This probably still has some sharp edges, so I expect there to be more work needed here, and I also want to add some way for the user to opt into dowloading either the SDK or the sysroot. Just haven't found the right place to do so yet.
