Gst-plugins-rs build fails in Docker with SIGKILL

General Discussion
1

I’m at a loss and almost about to pack it in with no way to get a binary of this plugin for Linux. If it was released with Debian I wouldn’t have to go to so much trouble. I needed it to demonstrate a background streaming service I have working on Windows. The Windows GVSbuild took minutes. Trying to build gst-plugin-rs in the meson build constantly fails with a SIGKILL at the webrtc plugins which is what I need. Ironically I had it built once somehow and then further attempts to build fails. The ram and cpu isn’t that high at that point.

It seems to be at the linker stage. Rust seems incredibly bloaty and system intensive. I only have 16GB of ram and doesn’t seem enough for it, I think Rust is a big mistake and overcomplicates things unnecessarily. The C code builds very fast up to this point. I’ve given Docker 15gb of ram and 20gb of swap space. And set cargo jobs to 1 and still fails. I made my image setup with alot of tricks to prevent the process stopping but nothing helped. I had to edit the meson options for this subproject to manually disable options as options as arguments doesn’t work with this plugin. Which I think is a bug.

I was able to somehow build with Cerbero in Docker. But Cerbero doesn’t build gst-python I need and disables things for the arm64 build. So Cerbero is a fail too. It was failing due to Windows case insensitive on mounts and a problem with rust packages poor naming conventions.

Any ideas ?

Building gstreamer, which takes minutes and very fast. Install into a prefix.

meson install -C build-gst-full/

Setup

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH =/opt/gstreamer/lib

Then build the plugin project from a fresh git checkout with this seems to work I get compiled library files and the whepsrc shows up with gst-inspect. Im increasing threads and cpu and see if it fails so far nothing. So its a bug with the meson build. Wasted lots of time.

cd gst-plugins-rs
cargo cbuild --prefix=/opt/gstreamer --libdir=lib

Rerunning the whole build fails. An individual build is ok

cargo cinstall --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release -v --prefix=/opt/gstreamer --libdir=lib -p gst-plugin-webrtchttp

Does sound like a Meson issue. Are you setting backend_max_links in Meson?

I don’t understand your comment about the cargo build. You’re saying the first time you run cargo cbuild works fine, but if you run it a second time it fails? Have you tried limiting the number of parallel jobs with -jX?

4

You could also try changing the lto = true in Cargo.toml to lto = thin to see if that helps (not sure if it can be overridden/set on the command line).

I tried alot of tricks and the rust plugins can’t be built with gstreamer I set jobs to 1 and still fails. It has to be done seperate and linked to the meson uninstalled directory. You have to build one plugin at a time basically.

I’ve had to build a build respository with an environment that will work out of the box after finding out all the issues to deal with. I have the build packaging up the rust plugin with gstreamer.

I’m working on a Ubuntu image now which I found one extra dep needed compared to Debian. And then trying a Qemu PI to build for PI as cross compiling is too difficult for all the stuff needed and I really just needed the software built to get a python solution I made working. I have python pointing to the built libraries in /opt/gstreamer and works perfect now.

here is the config tricks for Cargo but I had set it to one and threads on rustflags to 1.

I can give this a go. But to be honest the meson flags are ignored so a bug. It tries to compile dependencies for plugins I dont want and takes ages. Building the individual plugin is quicker.

I couldn’t see anywhere to pass -l flags so set it like this for now. The scripts are run from a mount so customisable still.

This config avoided the crash. However the build is still extremely slow and bloaty chewing cpu. It’s trying to compile packages that has nothing to do with the whepsrc plugin like aws. So a dep bug ? It seems modifying meson_options, disabling every plugin apart from the ones you need works around the bug not accepting options externally to disable plugins. Turning off auto features causes segfaults so cant do that.

I think it still needs to be an individual build of each plugin needed using cargo. Faster and less intensive.
