Problems with est-idf-sys on Mac m1 while building rust template example

[samutigro]

I had problems with est-idf-sys on my Mac m1 while building rust template example, every time I tried to build the project it was failing with this error:

error: failed to run custom build command for esp-idf-sys v0.34.1`

Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: /Users/samueleauteri/Desktop/Rust/template/target/debug/build/esp-idf-sys-5ad39a82e35dc1cd/build-script-build (exit status: 101)

I made it work following https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-idf-sys/issues/287

[patch.crates-io]
cc = { git = "https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs", tag = "1.0.83" }

this + a cargo update fixed everything

[NobodyXu]

Thanks for reporting, may I ask what command is used and how to reproduce it?

i was using this template https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-idf-template and I was failing after launching cargo build

[NobodyXu]

@samutigro can you try cc::Build::no_default_flags (can be set by environment variables CRATE_CC_NO_DEFAULTS)?

[madsmtm]

Am having the same issue, can confirm that compiling with CRATE_CC_NO_DEFAULTS=1 works.

[NobodyXu]

It seems like #1000 might fix this issue, can anyone have a try of that PR please?

[jwhitlark]

I ran into this issue while following the embedded rust on Espressif tutorial, specifically here. I confirm that CRATE_CC_NO_DEFAULTS=1 cargo run works, and flashes the board and correctly starts it.
