Unable to compile with cargo build

[gnomiik]

When doing cargo build it complains about

"error: failed to run custom build command for `scrap v0.5.0"

Here is the full log

RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo build

You'll need a VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT environment variable pointing to a valid VCPKG folder with a VCPKG binary built.

Do check the workflows for the dependencies you'll need to install and the general build process for each OS.

[gnomiik]

Isn't VCPKG for windows? I am trying to compile in linux

[gnomiik]

Could you please just make an AppImage, then I could run the binary and no need to compile. If this is possible of course. Thanks in advance!

[4JX]

Its still needed on linux for a few dependencies, see: https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB/blob/31b40067b24defda0bc77425026fce7c5fd449be/.github/workflows/release-rust.yml#L50

Prebuilt binaries are already uploaded via actions for each commit, but for the current version you can download it from the releases: https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB/releases/download/v0.7.0/l5p-kb-rgb-linux.zip

Needs to be marked as executable and run as root.

I probably should have clarified why i wanted a static executable because my glibc is too old. Is it possible to make a static executable? Thanks.

Output when I run it.

I don't have experience with creating statically linked apps, but after a few searches it seems as though apps packed as AppImages still rely on the system glibc by default. This seems to be able to fix that specific issue, however it currently errors out on my machine.

Another possibility would be to straight up compile against an older glibc in the github actions, though I first need to know your current version for that.

If you have resources about creating an AppImage with glibc that would be appreciated.

[gnomiik]

My glibc version is 2.23. It would be awesome to get it compiled on that version and older distro's will be well supported then. I don't know how to do AppImage with glibc, wish I could help with that though.Perhaps ld-linux can be used to load say new packaged glibc.

[azubieta]

@gnomiik if you're creating your AppImage using appimage-builder it will be embed by default.

[4JX]

Hey @gnomiik can you try compiling with cargo-make and see how that goes? There's a slight chance you'll need to manually find and install dependencies specific to your distro, but otherwise it should be automated enough.

As for the AppImage, currently waiting on https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder/issues/164. It doesn't seem like the github actions runners go to an old enough version of ubuntu for your specific GLIBC, so hopefully this works.

I know this has been closed for over a year, but I'm currently having the same issue and I'm running into the same issue and getting the same error regardless of whether I attempt to build via cargo-make or use vcpkg then regular cargo. I doubt this is a glibc issue, at least as far as versioning, because I'm running 2.37 and it still persists
