Failed to compile rust bindings (tvm-common)

Troubleshooting
#1

Hi

I just started with tvm rust and got the following error message when I tried to build the resnet example on macOS:

Compiling tvm-common v0.1.0 (/Users/usr/tvm/rust/common)

error[E0308] : mismatched types

87 | DLDataTypeCode_kDLInt => Int($value.v_int64),

= note : expected type **i32**

found type **u32**

error[E0308] : mismatched types

–> common/src/packed_func.rs:88:25

Any idea what could cause this error?

Hey @sepia

I submitted a PR to fix type mismatches here. Now I’m wondering if this is platform specific. I’m on windows. Are you on Linux/Mac?

Can you revert the changes in the above PR and test, I’m assuming that’s the issue. If you can confirm, I’ll submit a PR to fix it.

Thanks @paddyhoran

Yes, I’m on Mac and reverting the changes from the PR fixed the issue.

#4

Ok, there might be a better solution but for now I’ll submit a PR to conditionally compile for windows. Thanks for testing.

@sepia I posted a fix for this here. If you get a chance will you confirm that it works for you?

@paddyhoran unfortunately no. I get the following error when compiling:

Compiling tvm-common v0.1.0 (/Users/tvm/rust/common)

error : enum variants on type aliases are experimental

–> common/src/packed_func.rs:213:21

213 | Self::$variant(val as $inner_ty)

= help : add #![feature(type_alias_enum_variants)] to the crate attributes to enable

I also added the

#![feature(type_alias_enum_variants)]

to “packed_func.rs” which didn’t resolve the issue.

When compiling “runtime tests” I got another error

@sepia, type_alias_enum_variants feature has been stabalized. If you update your version of Rust that error should go away.
