Hi There,

While following instructions in docs/building.md and trying to build Docker image I'm facing some errors when building ABSL:

1182.0 configure: cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/root/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cmake/Modules/Platform/Emscripten.cmake -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR=/root/emsdk/node/18.20.3_64bit/bin/node;--experimental-wasm-threads

The error points to a problem wth pthread library, but does not seem to be a root cause. Debugging it a bit, I strongly suspect that the actual issue is that underneath emcmake cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 "." the command tries to run node JS tool installed as part of emsdk installation before ABSL. And in my case it seem to install node version 18.20.3 from a prebuilt binary. That prebuilt binary depends on a version of glibc that is too new for Ubuntu Bionic.

I was able to work around that issue in a couple of different ways:

  1. Option 1: use a newer Ubuntu version with a newer glibc. Specificially, updating to Ubuntu Focal, together with a few other mnor changes, seem to be enough to get over the glibc issue
  2. Option 2: pin node tool to version 16.20.0: ./emsdk install node-16.20.0-64bit && ./emsdk activate node-16.20.0-64bit.

If you think that any of those fixes are ok, I'm happy to prepare a pull request. If none of those options sound good, I happy to discuss and try other options.

Thank you.

I poked into other issues and pull requests in this project and found the following things that might or might not be relevant:

krinkinmu added a commit to krinkinmu/proxy-wasm-cpp-sdk that referenced this issue Oct 1, 2024
The way the script is currently it does not work (anymore). I'm aware
of two issues with the current setup:

1. emsdk underneath installs and uses Node JS and the version of Node JS
   is not pinned by the script and isn't tied to the version of the SDK
   used.

   As a result, emsdk moved to a newer version of Node JS than the one
   that was probably used when the scripts were created. This new
   version (it seems, the version currently being used is 18.20.3)
   requires a relatively fresh version of glibc which just isn't
   available in Ubuntu Bionic used as a base image. That results in
   obscure errors from CMake (see
   proxy-wasm#170)
2. for whatever reason, the version of the protobuf static libraries
   currently in the repo, don't seem to work. I don't really know
   how the issue happened, but there were at least 2 users that faced
   the problem (see
   proxy-wasm#161).

To resolve the first issue, we have a bunch of options:

1. Fix the version of emsdk
2. Fix the version of Node JS
3. Update the version of glibc

I figured I can combine options 1 and 3 together for the following
reasons:

1. Fixing the version of emsdk fixes the problem
2. The problem arised from the fact that the versions of software
   used in the build script are a bit old, so an update might be
   in order, even though we have other solutions to the problem.

> NOTE: It's my understanding that fixing emsdk version should also
> pin Node JS version, so if we deploy option 1, option 2 seem
> redundant.

For the second problem, I think there is only one ultimate solution
- not store binary artifacts in the repository and instead build
them from the sources in the repo.

It seems that in the past there was a concern that building protobuf
libraries takes a long time - it's still certainly the case. However,
I think we can compensate for that in two ways:

1. Drop WAVM - it does not seem like WAVM is still needed (the project
   itself appears to be dead and hasn't had any updates for at least 2
   years), but also one of the comments in
   proxy-wasm#158, that
   removed the WAVM from the docs, also suggests that three doesn't
   seem to be a good reason to keep WAVM in the SDK build script.
2. Take advantage of potential hardware threads in the system when
   calling make - most laptops or servers these days have multiple
   cores, so if we have to build protobuf libraries twice, we can
   speed it up by using more cores.

With all those changes made, the build time adds up to something like
32 minutes on my laptop, compared to the 48m without building
protobuf libraries from sources (and without adding -j option to make).
So I think the additional time spent on building protobuf library is
compensated by other changes.

* Update emsdk version to 3.1.67 in Bazel configuration

This CL mostly follows the instructions in
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk/blob/main/bazel/README.md.
Even so, there are a few things that are worth mentioning:

1. I tested the changes locally and in my tests
   incompatible_enable_cc_toolchain_resolution bazel flag made no
   difference (e.g. everything builds with or without the flag);
   I still keep it though because instructions say that it should
   be there and it does not cause any harm.
2. I don't think that we still need to patch emsdk to exclude npm
   modules from the toolchain, because it appears that upstream
   already removed those as a toolchain dependency in
   emscripten-core/emsdk#1045.

It's worth noting, that even though I don't think that emsdk patch
is still needed, I actually wasn't able to reproduce the problem
reported in #149
locally without the emsdk.patch even with the current version of
emsdk used by C++ SDK.

* Update building.md to match updated sdk_container.sh

This is a followup to the previous commits that refreshed the build
scripts and emsdk. This change reconciles the docs with the current
state of the build scripts.
