The 22.0.0 build doesn't generate wasmtime/conf.h

[osokin]

Hi,

I was using wasmtime-c-api cargo build target to build Wasmtime C API for previous releases.

For 22.0.0 that behavior is changed with the 566669e commit.

Could you guide me what's right approach to generate Wasmtime C API and wasmtime/conf.h file.

Thank you.

Indeed this is a duplicate of #8890, so I'm going to close this in favor of that.

@osokin are you able to use CMake to build the C API? And/or use the release artifacts from this repository?

[osokin]

@alexcrichton Well, using cmake adds complexity to the devel/libwasmtime port in FreeBSD ports tree, takes some time for the update.

If you'd like most of us in this repo are not all that familiar with CMake so if you know of ways to improve things PRs would definitely be welcome. For example running cargo fetch during the cmake configuration phase I think would make sense and might fix the issue you brought up
