For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0308`.
error: could not compile `macchina` (bin "macchina") due to 4 previous errors
error: failed to compile `macchina v6.2.1`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installvnBrkn`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install rust for linux amd64 platform via:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2. If, after installation, running rustc --version in the console fails, the modifications to PATH may not take effect until the console is restarted, or the user is logged out; thus, reboot, if necessary.
3. Install via:

   sudo apt install wmctrl -y && cargo install macchina

Expected behavior Successful installation of macchina v6.2.1.

Screenshots NA

macchina --doctor output NA, macchina fails to install.

[mert-kurttutan]

Experienced the same issue on windows and latest version

[blackerby]

Same issue on Fedora.

[grtcdr]

This should be fixed in https://github.com/Macchina-CLI/macchina/commit/b9ea77335ed6b45734abb3371df258f521745bc1, I'll make a new release soon enough that fixes this problem once and for all.

[grtcdr]

This issue should no longer affect future commits or source releases.

I am forced to discontinue publishing macchina on crates.io (for the time being) seeing as cargo and by extension crates.io do not the vendoring model adopted in commit https://github.com/Macchina-CLI/macchina/commit/b9ea77335ed6b45734abb3371df258f521745bc1, this model is very simple for me to support as a package maintainer, but has been, much to my surprise, unsupported by cargo for the past 9 years (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1565 and https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14005).

So for now, if you'd like to install macchina, use your distribution's package manager or the binaries we distribute with every release.
