static build does not work

[gour]

Hello,

Taskwarrior user here who would like to try smos...I'm on Siduction (Linux 6.11.9-1-siduction-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC siduction 6.11-9 (2024-11-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux) and when I try to run it I get:

~/.local/bin 
❯ smos
exec: Failed to execute process '/home/userid/.local/bin/smos': The file exists and is executable. Check the interpreter or linker?

~/.local/bin 
❯ strace smos
execve("/home/userid/.local/bin/smos", ["smos"], 0x7fff32457f30 /* 59 vars */) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
strace: exec: No such file or directory
+++ exited with 1 +++
****

Any idea?

The whole system, along with InTray and Tickler looks interesting for user familiar to work within Terminal, but, unfortunately, we're not all on NixOS. :disappointed:

@gour I can't seem to figure out what the issue is based on this error message. It looks like your architecture is right so I think that's not the issue. You don't need to be on NixOS to use nix. You can try nix run github:NorfairKing/smos to try smos out. We can then work together to get the static build working for you too.

Hello,

thank you for prompt reply!

You can try nix run github:NorfairKing/smos to try smos out. We can then work together to get the static build working for you too.

I've installed nix and it is available:

$ whereis nix
nix: /usr/bin/nix /usr/lib/nix /etc/nix /usr/libexec/nix /usr/share/man/man1/nix.1.gz

but running it gives:

$ nix run github:NorfairKing/smos
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; add '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to enable it

What's next to try?

[NorfairKing]

What's next to try?

Try what it says here in the error:

add '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to enable it

Then you'll get an error about flakes not being enabled, so the full command will (probably) be

nix run github:NorfairKing/smos --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes

[gour]

nix run github:NorfairKing/smos --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes

$  nix run github:NorfairKing/smos --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes
error: getting status of '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Permission denied

Huh that sounds like you have a single-user install of nix instead of a multi-user install. But I'm surprised that that would be a problem.

Can you ldd the original static binary please? ENOENT usually means a missing library but that shouldn't happen for the static binaries.

Nope, I installed it via system package manager (apt).

Tried that already, but nothing suspicious, afaict:

This is very suspicious, in fact. Those are the wrong binaries :P They should have no dynamically linked libraries.

There's the issue. The website is somehow hosting non-static builds. I'll need to fix that. Thank you very much for pointing that out!

In the meantime you can try a multi-user install of nix and try the above, or use the web editor at https://smos.online.

It must be I was blind (not seeing reference to the nix store) and stupid as well, forgetting there should be no references to systems libs. :-1:

You're welcome!

I was able to get smos built by running the above cmd as root. :sunglasses:

However, eager to test witth the normal static build...

[NorfairKing]

Will be fixed once this is released. https://github.com/NorfairKing/smos/commit/a1d9294802ec52d7f6f2857aabcd3cef821bc150

Please give me some time, I have one month old baby keeping me up at night right now :)

I know what you're talking about...our "baby" is over 10 now. :smile:
