Presenterm does not install using cargo or AUR helper

[squishram]

presenterm-git in the AUR and cargo's presenterm cannot successfully install onto my system, seemingly due to the package's inability to locate oniguruma, the regex parser that powers bat. However, I have no problems installing oniguruma and bat on my system, so am a bit puzzled as to why presenterm is giving me so much trouble (in fairness, bat and oniguruma are installed using pacman). I've attached the error log from paru (which is identical to the one from cargo) - your software looks incredible and I'm dying to use it - any help massively appreciated!

I don't use arch so it's hard for me to debug this. I did try presenterm-git on an arch docker image a few weeks back and had no issues with it.

I'd suggest using a pre-compiled binary instead. presenterm-bin is outdated (@pwnwriter would you mind please updating it?) but you can get the binary from the release page.

In bus 🚌,

Give me a few minutes.

I'll use the binary instead for now, thanks.

To clarify: I know that the AUR doesn't always work as expected, but from what I can tell the helper is simply calling cargo install presenterm and adding the compiled program to the list of packages it's managing. So I would imagine this is a problem with the way cargo is handling the dependencies, or with the way the dependencies are passed to cargo. Regardless, I'm sure the binary will do fine for now - cheers!

Tbh I'm not sure what's the point of the -git package as like you say it's basically a wrapper over git clone + cargo build. But yeah, there may be a problem in that regex crate not detecting something properly in your setup.

Should be providing 0.6.1 version now !

@zach-is-my-name I just tried compiling on a fresh ubuntu VPS. It does compile. Are you still facing the same issue?

This is complaining about the jpeg-decoder crate, it's unrelated to presenterm. See this issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118385, something may be broken in your installation.

Closing this, let me know if it's still an issue and we can reopen.
