Trying the build the Internet Identity canister locally on MacOS. Is it possible?

Jesse · November 14, 2021, 9:51pm

when trying to run the build, I get the following error:

error: failed to add native library /var/folders/30/7j228pcj5gx99lq_qsxxd3xw0000gn/T/cargo-installDsxVth/release/build/wabt-sys-5c97f456420b4626/out/build/libwabt.a: file too small to be an archive

error: aborting due to previous error

error: could not compile `wabt-sys`

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...

Caused by:
  build failed
The build step failed for canister 'rwlgt-iiaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-cai' with an embedded error: The custom tool failed.

does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Are you on a M1 mac? I’ve heard other people having problems with the new Apple silicon. If that’s the case, you could give Multipass 1.8 a try. It’s an emulator that can run Ubuntu, and it’s been confirmed to be compatible with M1 macs.

Have the same issue … on a MacM1 … moving to an ubuntu docker … Thanks for posting so I could find it and stop chasing it …

It can be done on mac M1 pretty easy. Here’s the link to how I got it to run Setup Internet identity locally failed - MacBook M1 - #5 by Jesse

be sure to pay attention to the “edit” that I left under the solution. You’ll have to try building it the way the “README” file says. it’ll fail, then you make the changes I mention in the link

Coolio, thanks … I had time today to go back and try the local M1 install … basically your steps worked:
Setup Internet identity locally failed - MacBook M1 - #5 by Jesse

with an addition of changing package.json for I got some ERESOLVE errors for some jest packages…
change package.json to:

“ts-jest”: “^27.1.0”,
“@types/jest”: “^27.0.3”,

and it worked as expected at that point…
cloned the repo, ran it once got this:


error: failed to add native library /var/folders/p8/w2kg1md960n_0m8cnvx4sld40000gn/T/cargo-install950Ib6/release/build/wabt-sys-5c97f456420b4626/out/build/libwabt.a: file too small to be an archive

Caused by:

The build step failed for canister 'rwlgt-iiaaa-aaaaa-aaaaa-cai' with an embedded error: The custom tool failed.

Then made the change to the build step as you suggested:

"build": "cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown",

then deleted the package-lock, reran install, restarted dfx server, and it deployed …

Awesome Sauce!
thanks again,

Hey @Jesse I also use the same method, but when I run npm run start prompts me
Unable to load'@webpack-cli/serve' command
Then I modified “webpack-cli”: “4.9.0”
npm run start again but it prompts me

Leave my solution, give friends who have the same problem, if you also use MacBook M1.
step1
cargo install ic-cdk-optimizer --version 0.3.1
