Failed to build Sentry Native SDK

[CharlotteFallices]

Just clone and build with cmake -P scripts/build.cmake:

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
CMake Error at scripts/build.cmake:41 (message):
  Building failed with 1:
  ./dependencies/sentry-native/out/darwin/clang/ub/debug
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  scripts/build.cmake:345 (execute_build)
  scripts/build.cmake:575 (compile_sentry_native)
  scripts/build.cmake:700 (compile_all_repositories)

*There will be no problems if manually build the Sentry Native SDK:

cd dependencies/sentry-native
cmake -B xcodebuild -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64;x86_64" -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/python3
xcodebuild build -project xcodebuild/Sentry-Native.xcodeproj

I checked the log ./dependencies/sentry-native/out/darwin/clang/ub/debug/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log and got:

  1 Compiling the C compiler identification source file "CMakeCCompilerId.c" failed.

-lx This option tells the linker to search for libx.dylib or libx.a in the library search path. If string x is of the form y.o, then that file is searched for in the same places, but without prepending lib or appending .a or .dylib to the filename. -Ldir Add dir to the list of directories in which to search for libraries. Directories specified with -L are searched in the order they appear on the command line and before the default search path. In Xcode4 and later, there can be a space between the -L and directory.

As for the manpage, -lSystem means a lib called libSystem and I found it in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MACOSX.sdk/usr/lib, so it should be:

ld -lSystem -L "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MACOSX.sdk/usr/lib"

But I don't know anything about cmake file so that I can't change how it work :(

Did you run following command on top directory?

git submodule update --init --recursive

Because sentry-native requires recursive submodule checkout, building sentry-native may fail without recursive submodule checkout.

On the other hand, sentry-native is only needed for crash reports and can be disabled by setting the following environment variable. If this does not work, please try that.

export NANOEM_DISABLE_BUILD_SENTRY_NATIVE=1

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
