`error: aborting due to 131 previous errors` when installing with cargo install #2

Closed Reconcyl closed 4 years ago

Reconcyl commented 4 years ago

I tried to build this program using cargo install:

$ cargo install whitespacers

When I do this, I get 131 errors originating from the files src/core/compiler_x64.rs and src/core/allocator.rs. Most are of the form expected value, found module `self` or cannot find value `...` in this scope for some variable ....

My rustc/cargo version is 1.45.0.

I also tried installing it with cargo install +nightly whitespace-rs, but this led to a separate set of compilation errors relating to Span::mixed_site() when compiling dynasm.

Is it recommended that I build from source instead of using cargo install?

Edit: I attempted to build from source and got the same errors (stable and nightly).

The minimum required rust version is 1.46.0 (either stable or nightly) as that version fixes some issues around macro_rules! and proc_macro hygiene interactions.

Thanks, this solved the problem.
