Escript programs not building properly with 4.1.0

[bneumeier]

Describe the bug

I am trying to build rabbitmq-server 4.1.0 from source on a Linux machine. I'm using Erlang 27.3.4 and I've tried using Elixir 1.18.4 and 1.17.3.

The broker itself builds and works fine. However, the escript programs under /usr/lib/erlang/lib/rabbitmq-server-4.1.0/escript fail with "escript: exception error: undefined function 'Elixir.RabbitMQCtl':main/1".

When I unzip the archives, I find that they contain basically the entirety of the /usr/lib directory, but do not contain what they're expected to. Looking at the compile log, I see a number of failures that I think are responsible for the problem but am not proficient enough with Erlang to diagnose. The first sample is:

make[4]: Entering directory '/usr/src/rabbitmq-server/rabbitmq-server-4.1.0/deps/csv'
 DEPEND csv.d

Failed to eval:  {ok, _} = application:ensure_all_started(elixir),       {ok, _} = application:ensure_all_started(mix),  ModCode = list_to_atom("Elixir.Code"),  ModCode:put_compiler_option(ignore_module_conflict, true),    ModComp = list_to_atom("Elixir.Kernel.ParallelCompiler"),       ModMixProject = list_to_atom("Elixir.Mix.Project"),     erlang:group_leader(whereis(standard_error), self()), ModMixProject:in_project(csv, ".", [], fun(_MixFile) ->         case ModComp:compile_to_path([<<"lib/csv.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/decoding/decoder.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/decoding/parser.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/defaults.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/encoding/encode.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/encoding/encoder.ex">>,<<"lib/csv/exceptions.ex">>], <<"ebin/">>) of                  {ok, Modules, _} ->                             lists:foreach(fun(E) -> io:format(user, "~p ", [E]) end, Modules),                            halt(0);                        {error, _ErroredModules, _WarnedModules} ->                             io:format(user, "_ERROR_", []),                               halt(1)         end     end)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Reproduction steps

1. Build and install erlang 27.3.4
2. Build and install elixir 1.17 or 1.18
3. Build rabbitmq-server 4.1.0 with "make -j1 PREFIX=/usr ELIXIR_BIN=/bin/elixir"
   ...

Expected behavior

escripts have content similar to what is found in rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-4.1.0.tar.xz distribution
