cbuild does not generate the shared library in the target/${profile}/ path

[dbermond]

cbuild does not generate the shared library. The shared library is generated only when running cinstall. Tested in rav1e with cargo-c 0.3.1.

Can this be changed so cbuild also generates the shared library?

cbuild generates the shared library, could you provide more information and ls -alR target/*/ ?

I'm using Arch Linux x86_64.
The rust version currently is 1.39.0.
cargo-c is installed on system and currently at version 0.4.0.

Steps used to build rav1e and the C library:

$ git clone https://github.com/xiph/rav1e.git
$ cd rav1e
$ cargo fetch
$ cargo build --release --frozen
$ cargo cbuild --release --prefix='/usr'

After this, the shared library is not generated. Here is the output of ls -alR target/*/.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 22116096 dez  6 20:53 librav1e-bfbf0e656d2012cb.so

It is built but not copied in the main directory. the cargo rustc override story is less than perfect, if you were expecting to have the .so in the target directory.

Yes, I was expecting a clear output of librav1e.so (and the versioned library files) in the main directory, as with cinstall.

Thank you for clarifying this.

If this is a wontfix, fell free to close this issue.

It is an issue that requires to either fix cargo rustc or to switch to cargo-as-library and make the build time LONG.

Done in 0.6.0 (will be released today)
