Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1#488: Support non-WASM platforms that are missing `string.h`
92b733386f Support non-WASM platforms that are missing `string.h` (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  Dunno why we haven't seen this elsewhere, but when trying to build locally for an ARM embedded target `secp256k1-sys` failed to compile as it was missing `string.h`, just like WASM.

  This patch adds a trivial fallback - if we fail to compile initially we unconditionally retry with the wasm-sysroot, giving us a valid `string.h`.

secp256k1-sys

This crate provides Rust definitions for the FFI structures and methods.

Vendoring

The default build process is to build using the vendored libsecp256k1 sources in the depend folder. These sources are prefixed with a special rust-secp256k1-sys-specific prefix rustsecp256k1_v1_2_3_.

This prefix ensures that no symbol collision can happen:

  • when a Rust project has two different versions of rust-secp256k1 in its depepdency tree, or
  • when rust-secp256k1 is used for building a static library in a context where existing libsecp256k1 symbols are already linked.

To update the vendored sources, use the vendor-libsecp.sh script:

$ ./vendor-libsecp.sh depend <version-code> <rev>
  • Where <version-code> is the secp256k1-sys version number underscored: 0_1_2.
  • Where <rev> is the git revision of libsecp256k1 to checkout.

Linking to external symbols

If you want to compile this library without using the bundled symbols (which may be required for integration into other build systems), you can do so by adding --cfg=rust_secp_no_symbol_renaming' to your RUSTFLAGS variable.
