bootimage can't be installed #1329

Closed Nerocraft4 closed 3 months ago

Nerocraft4 commented 5 months ago

Hello,

I've tried to install bootimage several times and I can't manage to do it. I'm stuck at the last part of this tutorial (https://os.phil-opp.com/minimal-rust-kernel/) and bootimage just won't install.

I get thousands of errors:

Some errors have detailed explanations: E0405, E0412, E0425, E0432, E0433, E0463, E0531.
error: could not compile `serde` (lib) due to 6739 previous errors
error: failed to compile `bootimage v0.10.3`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installud8I1t`.

What can I do? I really wanted to follow along the tutorial, but this has stopped me and I can't find anything to solve it.

Please try running the cargo install command from a different directory, e.g. your home directory.

thing is, from there, it tells me the target system (the x86... .json thingy) is not installed. It could be a bug due to the unstable-nightly version, maybe?

phil-opp commented 5 months ago

cargo install should always build for your host system, not for the custom target. Did you perhaps set the default target in your $HOME/.cargo/config instead of a path/to/your/project/.cargo/config file? In that case you changed the default target for your whole system, which would explain why the error still happens from your home directory.

thanks! that might be it. I will try again as soon as I can and let you know.

I'll go ahead and close this because I think this has been answered. Let me know if you still have issues.
