Failure to compile

[Canop]

Several users see a failure to compile version 1.7.4.

If that's the case for you, please precise in comment your os, version of rustc. I'm trying to gather evidences.

[rsignavong]

Hello I have the issue.

My setup is the following

OS
Apple Chip M1 running MacOS Monterey 12.1

stable-aarch64-apple-darwin (default)
nightly-aarch64-apple-darwin

@rsignavong can you try to compile this crate ? https://github.com/rust-x-bindings/rust-xcb/tree/main 0.10.1 the main branch.

git clone https://github.com/rust-x-bindings/rust-xcb.git
git checkout v0.10.1
cargo build --features "thread" --features "xfixes"

[Canop]

@rsignavong can you try the installation without the clipboard feature ?

 cargo build --release --no-default-features

[rsignavong]

cargo build --features "thread" --features "xfixes"

It builds correctly, in debug or release mode, with and without the features

[rsignavong]

Is it related to my rustflags?

❯ cat ~/.cargo/config
[target.aarch64-apple-darwin]
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-undefined", "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup"]

[Canop]

My clipboard library seems to be the problem (due to one of its dependencies).
As it's hard to me to develop for Mac (a Mac would be needed), I'll probably not support the clipboard on Mac, at least until I find a solution.
Right now, the broot you built without this feature should be OK

[rsignavong]

Ok I see, thank you for your help!

[Canop]

I've just released broot v1.7.5 which brings nothing else than an easier compilation.

quick tangent for you, if you don't mind... I just tried to compile another Cargo project, (https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty), which gets all the way to the end, and then throws the same lxcb dep error that Broot was giving me before... Do you think you could tell me how to edit the source similarly to what you did, to skip that, (I am on SailfishOS, with no X packages), or maybe even fork or something for me?

Thanks

[Canop]

You should create an issue on the Alacritty project. It's probably a problem for other users too.
In order to solve that issue, you, or another coder but I don't really have the time this week, should probably have a look at where X11 is used. It's maybe for the clipboard, as in broot, or maybe for other uses, I don't know.

If you had a minute or two At some point, just wonder your thoughts on this - Smithay/client-toolkit#210

Thanks
