building on Pinebook Pro running Manjaro ARM

[skyfaller]

Describe the bug
The latest version of gitui available as a binary on Manjaro ARM is 0.21.0-2, which is too old for me, given the latest release is v0.26.3. So I want to compile the latest version from source.

I have had trouble building gitui on my Pinebook Pro running Manjaro ARM, which is the default Linux distro the laptops ship with (and therefore I assume the best-supported distro, the Pine64 wiki says "The Pinebook Pro is officially supported by the Manjaro ARM project").

I managed to install aur/gitui-git with yay gitui-git, which of course installs the latest VCS version rather than a stable release. In order to make it compile however, I have to run export CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER=gcc first. I don't know how/why this helps. If I skip that step and run it normally, I get the error:

error: linker `aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc` not found

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

 -> error making: gitui-git-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
gitui-git - exit status 4

If I run cargo install gitui to compile the latest stable release, it fails with the error:

I have the same error when trying to cross-compile gitui for OpenWRT ARM.

[ghost]

getting the same issue when trying to install on arch (btw) x86_64

[dkarter]

Same when running cargo install on ARM macOS

[extrawurst]

building via cargo makes it eagerly update dependencies which will lead to incompatibilities. Please see https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui?tab=readme-ov-file#cargo-install and build via cargo install gitui --locked

[egorenar]

hmm, in my opinion cargo does everything right, if your Cargo.toml allows such dependency updates.
why not correct it in Cargo.toml, apparently you specified your dependency versions not strict enough ?

[extrawurst]

@egorenar i went down this path before. its not as easy as that: #2098

@skyfaller let me know if you are able to build via --locked - it should fix your problem

[joshka]

Tui-textarea's version specifier was wrong - it specified >0.23, which picks up whatever the latest 0.x.y version, but that's not semver compatible with 0.x-1.y and hence the compilation issue. This should have been fixed in the latest version of tui-textarea (0.5.y) though.
