Can't install on Void Linux

[nothingnesses]

After installing the prerequisites listed in the README and attempting to install cargo-update, I got this output. Perhaps pkg-config also needs to be listed as a dependency in addition to those already listed in the README?

After installing pkg-config and enabling backtrace, I got this output. So is the issue with sfackler/rust-openssl? Is this related to #86? How should I go forward with this?

I don't know Void Linux but you'll probably need package libressl-devel.

@mati865 Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it still fails after installing libressl-devel, with this output. It seems I am missing Unix Makefiles, so I installed make but even then, it still fails with this output. Shouldn't libressl-devel (at least for systems using libressl in lieu of openssl) and make also be listed as pre-requisites in the README?

[mati865]

@VoidNoire instructions in README are for the most popular Linux distribution (Ubuntu) where cmake pulls make, *-dev packages pull pkf-config and libssl-dev pulls right openssl package.

In your case you will need also libgit2-devel which would pull libssh2-devel and libressl-devel if they are absent.

There is variety of package managers and if @nabijaczleweli agrees there could be added another README section or wiki with distribution specific instructions.

@mati865 I see. I think distro-specific instructions would be worthwile. If it's possible to do, it might be even better to add some logic in the installation process that automatically detects the distro in use and calls the distro's package manager to install the required packages.

I installed libgit2-devel and tried the installation again, but unfortunately it still fails, this time with this output.

It could be done in the *-sys packages but I'd be really complex and probably unidiomatic.

I installed libgit2-devel and tried the installation again, but unfortunately it still fails, this time with this output.

Okay I see where the problem is, it will be fixed when I finish #90 (e.t.a. today UTC evening).

Sexions for distros requiring special care sound great! (Though I am severely out of my depth here as I only use Windows and Debians :v)

[nabijaczleweli]

@VoidNoire Do please check current master.

I installed it from the master branch by using:

cargo install --git https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update.git cargo-update

and it sucessfully got built. It seems to work fine too as it's currently updating ion-shell. Thanks @mati865 and @nabijaczleweli. 😃
