go install github.com/doronbehar/pistol@latest doesn't fetch the latest version?

[salenius]

I can't install pistol on my Linux Mint computer. It has the following specs:

`Operating System: Linux Mint 21.3

Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-113-generic

Architecture: x86-64

Hardware Vendor: Apple Inc.

Hardware Model: iMac16,2

I have Golang and libmagic installed.

> go version go version go1.22.5 linux/amd64

> whereis libmagic libmagic: /usr/share/man/man3/libmagic.3.gz

Then when I'm trying to use command go install github.com/doronbehar/pistol/cmd/pistol@latest I get the following output

# github.com/doronbehar/pistol/internal_writers go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:33:22: undefined: archiver.NewZip go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:36:22: undefined: archiver.NewRar go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:39:22: undefined: archiver.NewTar go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:44:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarXz go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:50:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarBz2 go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:56:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarGz go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:62:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarLz4 go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:68:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarSz go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:73:23: undefined: archiver.NewTarZstd go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:85:34: undefined: archiver.Walker go/pkg/mod/github.com/doronbehar/pistol@v0.4.4/internal_writers/archives.go:85:34: too many errors

Any ideas is there something that I'm missing?

Linux on a Mac hardware? Nice. Do you have the magic.h header installed there? Try the file-devel package:

https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/file/file-devel/

[salenius]

Thanks for the quick answer! Yeah, had this setup for just about a month now. :) I checked, I checked that I have the following files using your link as a reference:

usr/include/magic.h lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmagic.so lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libmagic.pc

file-devel doesn't seem to exist in repositories apt uses. Fedora version you linked is probably not the right one for my distro.

Does setting the following helps?

CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

Before running go install github.com/doronbehar/pistol/cmd/pistol@latest.

[salenius]

I added that to my .profile. Unfortunately it doesn't help even after I rebooted my computer.

What happens when you git clone the repository, and run make, or go build?

[salenius]

I got it set up using cloning and then using ´make´ and it worked! Although pistol is not currently rendering the images in my terminal, but just showing textual information about the image. This latter thing is probably it's whole separate issue though.

EDIT: It seems you don't support image preview with rendering, so I guess this issue can be closed down. Thanks for the help!

PS. Great avatar, Snufkin is my favorite Moomin character :)

Great I'm glad you have pistol working for you now. I won't close this issue as I think there is an issue with go install github.com/doronbehar/pistol/cmd/pistol@latest. I tried to reproduce this issue with:

env GOPATH=/tmp/go go install github.com/doronbehar/pistol/cmd/pistol@latest

And I encountered a different error:

What worries me is that @latest doesn't fetch v0.5, but v0.4.4 - I'm pretty sure that is related to the issue - there were a few changes in the API of the libraries between 0.4.4 and 0.5 that are related to the errors you experienced.

I just bumped a new version (0.5.2) - perhaps that will be detected as @latest in a few hours.

What ever you'll decide to do, you can always fetch a static build of pistol (along with a manpage) via the release's assets:
