Subject: [PATCH v2] Makefile: link osxkeychain & support universal Rust
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 22:01:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2288.v2.git.git.1782943303219.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2288.git.git.1778001976709.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Shnatu <snatu@google.com>
When Rust is enabled, ensure that the git-credential-osxkeychain
helper is linked with the necessary Rust libraries.
Also, introduce native support for macOS Universal Binaries
(multi-architecture builds) in the Git build system by allowing
the user to specify a list of target triples in the RUST_TARGETS
environment variable.
To implement this cleanly without complex shell scripting in recipes:
1. We introduce a declarative Make pattern rule (target/%/...) to
compile each target-specific library slice (e.g.,
target/aarch64-apple-darwin/...).
2. We update the $(RUST_LIB) recipe to depend on the list of
compiled target-specific member libraries ($(RUST_MEMBER_LIBS)).
3. On macOS, if multiple targets are specified, we use lipo to
combine them into a single Universal static library at
target/release/libgitcore.a.
4. If only one target is specified, we copy it to the standard
path.
5. We enforce that building for multiple targets requires macOS
(as lipo is only available there), raising a clear make error
on other platforms.
This is a highly elegant and native Makefile solution that avoids
complex shell scripting in recipes and fully supports macOS Universal
Binaries.

## Commit message ##
- Makefile: link osxkeychain helper against Rust
+ Makefile: link osxkeychain & support universal Rust
When Rust is enabled, ensure that the git-credential-osxkeychain
helper is linked with the necessary Rust libraries.
- Introduce the RUST_LIBS variable inside ifndef NO_RUST block
- to hold the Rust library dependency, and use it in the helper's
- build target. This cleanly handles cases where Rust is disabled,
- making it a no-op and avoiding any build failures on systems
- without Cargo.
+ Also, introduce native support for macOS Universal Binaries
+ (multi-architecture builds) in the Git build system by allowing
+ the user to specify a list of target triples in the RUST_TARGETS
+ environment variable.
- This addresses reviewer feedback from internal CL 910223487
- by simplifying the variables and avoiding confusing "LINK"
- terminology.
+ To implement this cleanly without complex shell scripting in recipes:
+ 1. We introduce a declarative Make pattern rule (target/%/...) to
+ compile each target-specific library slice (e.g.,
+ target/aarch64-apple-darwin/...).
+ 2. We update the $(RUST_LIB) recipe to depend on the list of
+ compiled target-specific member libraries ($(RUST_MEMBER_LIBS)).
+ 3. On macOS, if multiple targets are specified, we use lipo to
+ combine them into a single Universal static library at
+ target/release/libgitcore.a.
+ 4. If only one target is specified, we copy it to the standard
+ path.
+ 5. We enforce that building for multiple targets requires macOS
+ (as lipo is only available there), raising a clear make error
+ on other platforms.
