rust related errors building installer #88

Closed whiteley closed 1 year ago

Using the steps in https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon/blob/main/docs/uefi-standalone.md#software-preparation I get no errors building m1n1 or uboot-asahi but when I get to installer-bootstrap I see many errors like the following

linux-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu> /nix/store/51sszqz1d9kpx480scb1vllc00kxlx79-bash-5.2-p15/bin/bash: line 1: rustc: command not found
linux-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu> expr: syntax error: unexpected argument '1.69.0'

after this the build "succeeds" and an .iso is produced but I'm suspicious about its correctness. Are these errors new from upstream changes? Existing and expected?

Thank you!

I assume this is just the kernel checking for Rust support and giving errors because it is indeed not available in the installer. There's no reason the .iso you built shouldn't work if it was indeed produced.

You are also free to download the .iso from GitHub to save time. It should be (but isn't always sadly) bit-identical if you build from the same tag on a local x86_64-linux machine.
