Subject: [PATCH] osxkeychain: fix build with Rust
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:11:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2154.git.1781691074710.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Without NO_RUST defined, the varint encoder/decoder lives in the
RUST_LIB, which needs to be linked. Symptom:
cc [... -o contrib/credential/osxkeychain/git-credential-osxkeychain [...]
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_decode_varint", referenced from:
_read_untracked_extension in libgit.a[x86_64][63](dir.o)
_read_untracked_extension in libgit.a[x86_64][63](dir.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
While it is curious why these functions are needed at all (osxkeychain
does not read or write the index), the compile error is a real problem.
Instead of trying to play games to add `GITLIBS` while filtering out
`common-main.o`, replace the `$(LIB_FILE) $(EXTLIBS)` construct with the
much shorter `$(LIBS)` construct that _already_ filters out
`common-main.o` and adds the Rust library when needed.

osxkeychain: fix build with Rust
I ran into this when trying to build Microsoft Git v2.55.0-rc0. This
seems to be similar in spirit to
https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.2288.git.git.1778001976709.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
but the latter seems not to have gained traction. This build failure is
a hard regression in v2.55.0, though.
