MatIconModule no longer compiles in libraries

Question

I'm trying to use the MatIconModule in a Angular Package Format library and when I introduce the MatIconModule it fails to compile. To see for yourself clone the MVCE repository:

git clone git@github.com:fireflysemantics/maticonmoduleerror.git
cd maticonmoduleerror
npm i
ng build --prod fs-assets

This is what the module looks like:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { MatIconModule } from '@angular/material/icon';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
  ],
  imports: [MatIconModule
  ],
  exports: [
  ]
})
export class FsAssetsModule { }

If MatIconModule is removed, it compiles. Angular Material was added to the root project the standard way with ng add @angular/material. These are the compiler errors:

This used to work fine. Any ideas?

@JSONDerulo ( Cool name :) ) I tried upgrading both the CLI and Node, so now I have the latest version of both running. I still get the same errors. — Ole, May 19 '21 at 12:00
Did you also to update the project itself with `ng update @angular/core @angular/cli @angular/material`? Because in the linked repository I see that Angular 11 is used. — JSON Derulo, May 19 '21 at 12:10

Your project is still using Angular 11, see the package.json in the linked repository. Updating to Angular 12 using ng update @angular/core @angular/cli @angular/material should fix the issue.
