Upgrading Zig Build script, recompile with fpic, lazypath vs generatedfile

Help
1

I’m trying to upgrade the project ZigAndroidTemplate to zig 0.12 and/or 0.13 and running into a problem when linking. I get about 300 of these errors:

error: ld.lld: relocation R_386_PC32 cannot be used against symbol '__multf3'; recompile with -fPIC
    note: defined in /home/mark/.cache/zig/o/7c9d17811c5bad22da853bfbd92be439/libcompiler_rt.a(/home/mark/.cache/zig/o/7c9d17811c5bad22da853bfbd92be439/libcompiler_rt.a.o)
    note: referenced by divc3.zig:54 (/home/mark/Projects/zig/zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0/lib/compiler_rt/divc3.zig:54)
    note:               /home/mark/.cache/zig/o/7c9d17811c5bad22da853bfbd92be439/libcompiler_rt.a.o:(__divtc3) in archive /home/mark/.cache/zig/o/7c9d17811c5bad22da853bfbd92be439/libcompiler_rt.a

This doesn’t seem to happen with 0.12, only with 0.13 (but 0.12 doesn’t build for other reasons, so maybe I’m just not making it to this step.

I added .pic = true in the one spot I could find - in SDK.zig:

    const exe = sdk.b.addSharedLibrary(.{
        .name = app_config.app_name,
        .root_source_file = .{ .cwd_relative = src_file },
        .target = sdk.b.resolveTargetQuery(
            config.target,
        ),
        .pic = true,

These errors go away if I don’t compile for android x86.

My second issue - now that I’ve disabled x86 builds - is I can’t seem to turn a GeneratedFile into a LazyPath

    pub fn getOutputDirectory(self: *Self) std.Build.LazyPath {
        return .{ .generated = &self.directory };
    }

This now gives me a compile error:

/home/mark/Projects/zig/ZigAndroidTemplate_mark/Sdk.zig:745:32: error: expected type 'Build.LazyPath.LazyPath__struct_6125', found pointer
        return .{ .generated = &self.directory };
                               ^
/home/mark/Projects/zig/ZigAndroidTemplate_mark/Sdk.zig:745:32: note: address-of operator always returns a pointer

Taking away the pointer yields:

 error: expected type 'Build.LazyPath.LazyPath__struct_6125', found 'Build.GeneratedFile

Any help figuring out these 2 issues would be appreciated.

Good new. I figured out the LazyPath v GeneratedFile issue.

I did not update the library folder of my ZLS, so every time I went to check the definition of LazyPath I was unknowingly looking at 0.12 version. The updated way is like this:

    pub fn getOutputDirectory(self: *Self) std.Build.LazyPath {
        return .{ .generated = .{ .file = &self.directory } };
    }
