Bug in documented installation procedure

xandey commented 1 year ago

Hi I've been using neovim-gtk for a while. I'm always confused when I try to install it though. How do you guys install this on fresh machines.

I've tried following the README instructions (ubuntu 22.04)

install dependencies sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev
Install rust using the tool https://rustup.rs/
clone repo
cargo build --release

Now I try to install it, I tried: sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local make install but that complains that root doesn't have access to cargo. Googling a little tells me that sudo shouldn't have access to cargo installed from rustup. Maybe I"m wrong? I'd like to use this and have the icons installed.

Technical information (please complete the following information):

OS: ubuntu 22.04
Neovim version: 1.0.4 head
Neovim-Gtk build version: bccd2fc1fa42d074a6c74fba348ea2b78acf6d04

Possibly we should recommend make PREFIX=~/.local install instead of make install? It doesn't require root and can use user-defined path to cargo
