zellij can't build on Linux ppc64 #3378

Open ky438 opened 6 months ago

zellij doesn't build on linux ppc64le (ubuntu 22.04 LTS)

cargo xtask build fails with:

Running `target/debug/xtask build` thread 'main' panicked at xtask/src/build.rs:85:22: called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Custom { kind: Other, error: "protoc failed: action.proto: This file contains proto3 optional fields, but --experimental_allow_proto3_optional was not set.\n" }

Trying to 'skip ahead' and cargo build returns some failures in corosensei, which is also unsupported on ppc64le it seems (https://github.com/Amanieu/corosensei/issues/18).

What is it about zellij (and dependencies) that is so coupled to the underlying hardware/ABI? I'm not sure if the bug here is that another architecture needs support, or if zellij shouldn't need to be aware of the underlying arch?

note, this seems to be a similar failure to https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/issues/3180

I don’t like external binaries dependencies since this kind of problem exist because of them. See my feature/compile fork’s branch (specifically this commit for an example on passing arguments to protoc.

Thanks - that commit fixes this build issue!

The dependency on cranelift and its sub-dependencies (such as wasmtime) only makes thing harder to get the software to built for ppc64le.
