Instructions about building from source
Closed this issue · 10 comments

Hi authors,
I want to modify a bit to practice and build the project from source. My command is to go to the cargo-afl directory and then cargo install --path . --force. This should be the same with cargo install cargo-afl.
However, I found differences like I cannot run cargo afl config --build --force when I build from source.
The error message is:
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo afl config --build --force thread 'main' panicked at cargo-afl/src/main.rs:145:34: called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Custom { kind: Other, error: Error { kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory (os error 2)" } }
While I succeeded when installing it from crates.io.
Can you explain the reason for this? Or is there any instruction about building from source? Thank you!

The error message is: ...
That is not a very helpful error message!
I agree we should have build instructions, but I would like to get to the root cause of the problem you are experiencing now.
I have created a branch use-anyhow that should provide more helpful error messages. Could I trouble you to repeat you experiment using that branch?
git clone https://github.com/rust-fuzz/afl.rs
cd afl.rs
git checkout use-anyhow
If you get an error again, please provide the backtrace.
As a shot in the dark, did you run git submodule update --init before running cargo install ...?

Hi, thanks for your timely reply!
I have run git submodule update --init --recursive to sync all the contents in AFLPlusPlus. I git checkout use-anyhow.
The scenario is that I am running the tutorial case in https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/afl/tutorial.html or any other simple test case. cargo afl build, cargo afl fuzz .. work well.
Here is the full error message of RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo afl config --build.

If I don't build from source, just cargo install cargo-afl and execute the same command, I can successfully run cargo afl config --build, and success message is:
Artifacts written to /home/flash/.local/share/afl.rs/rustc-1.76.0-nightly-a1a3773/afl.rs-0.15.9
In this artifact directory, it contains afl, and afl-llvm. It seems like we successfully build the binaries of aflpp into our system.
smoelius commented
Sorry, but I am still having trouble determining the source of the error. Specifically, I cannot tell what this line in the backtrace refers to:
0: anyhow::error::<impl core::convert::From<E> for anyhow::Error>::from
When you install from source, could you add the --debug flag? That should add more details to the backtrace.
llooFlashooll commented
Hi, this is the newest error message. It seems like the same error message. The anyhow is the crate you import in the use-anyhow branch.
I build from source by adding the --debug flag. Then RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo afl config --build --force

So this is where the failure occurs:
afl.rs/cargo-afl/src/config.rs
Lines 64 to 71 in 6c6b6b0
In your checkout of afl.rs, what do you see if you run this?
ls cargo-afl/AFLplusplusAlternatively, is there anything weird about how your /tmp is set up?

In this case, can you suggest how to create the /tmp directory? Thank you!

I have run
git submodule update --init --recursiveto sync all the contents in AFLPlusPlus. I git checkoutuse-anyhow.
Could you please try without the --recursive flag?
I think some of AFL++'s submodules may contain broken links, and that is what is causing the failure.
llooFlashooll commented
Hi! You are right, we should remove the --recursive flag. That is my bad. Thank you! You can also remove the use-anyhow branch. Thanks for your kind help!
smoelius commented
Let's please keep this issue open until I have had a chance to write build instructions.
Users should not have to figure out that --recursive causes problems (and the code should probably handle that anyway).
Thanks very much for your inquiry! You've revealed some ways in which the code could be improved!

Done. rust-fuzz/book#44
