This is similar to Bug 1417646, but not identical.  Investigating --enable-geckodriver for Android, I find that:

1) removing the "bzip2" feature from the "zip" dependency avoids Bug 1409276;

2) adding an Android-specific hack for pthread_atfork allows to build.

I don't know if the result actually runs on a device, but I wanted to capture those notes, and see about upstreaming the latter.

Try build percolating at https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=ad1ba1bdda2743a1546ba4e5d7d863576d0096a1

Just as a note, my locally built geckodriver binary is 44Mb.  That seems all kinds of wrong.

We can probably land this and figure out why the binary size is
bloated later.  I noticed it is approximately the same size for a
Linux build:

> % du -shL obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/
> 44M	obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/geckodriver

As opposed to a "cargo build --release" build:

> % du -sh testing/geckodriver/target/release/geckodriver
> 8.7M	testing/geckodriver/target/release/geckodriver

I’ve filed https://bugzil.la/1442253 to follow up on this.

Bug 1441656 - Build geckodriver for Android builds.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/223568/#review230266

Thanks for figuring out the build problems on Android!  Just split
this up into two commits and add a guard for cross compiled macOS,
and I think this is good to land.

::: testing/geckodriver/Cargo.toml:25
(Diff revision 1)

We don’t need bzip2 support, only zip, so this is fine, so thanks
for making this change.

But do you mind making the vendoring changes from "./mach vendor
rust" in a separate commit?  For someone examining the commit it is
nearly impossible to tell what has actually changed.

::: testing/geckodriver/src/main.rs:52
(Diff revision 1)

I don’t want to pretend I understand what this does, but I think it
is worth putting it in if it makes Android compile.

This makes the cross-compiled macOS build fail because of a missing
linker:

> error: failed to run dsymutil: No such file or directory (os error 2)

I believe this is bug 1417646.

So to get this passing try you would have to add an explicit check
for macOS cross-compiled builds.

That error isn't mentioned in bug 1417646 at all, FYI. That error is because cargo explicitly tries to run `dsymutil` after linking a mac binary.

This came up in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/47240 and acrichto added a rustc option to not do that in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47784 which was merged ~2 weeks ago. We could work around this by adding a symlink from `dsymutil` to `$topsrcdir/clang/bin/llvm-dsymutil` somewhere in $PATH.

With my patches from bug 1409276 I have this building on try:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=3bccdf25dde25d20f63874bee5f2a5b24229ec66&selectedJob=188427910

Although it still breaks with the pthread_atfork issue on android-x86:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=188427859&repo=try&lineNumber=30154

It looks like the Rust standard library put in a workaround for this, but it only applies when the target contains "androideabi":
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/50702b28383c15907c29e8f70256cdd439800834/src/liballoc_jemalloc/build.rs#L142

...so that doesn't quite cover "i686-linux-android". I guess we'll still need that local hack for android-x86.

I'm just going to --disable-geckodriver for android-x86, I filed bug 1477340 about it.

Please note that geckodriver can now be build via cross-compilation for MacOS (bug 1417646). Building for Android is the only remaining platform now.

Ted, I assume you don't work on it. So I will mark the bug as unassigned.

I'm not planning on it, no, but I believe this patch could land as-is now that the changes in bug 1409276 landed. However, my patch in bug 1417646 originally enabled geckodriver on Android by default, and I think that got changed before landing, so we'd probably need to fix that.
