dx-cli 0.7.0 Hotpatching fails: cannot find ‘ld’

[sirati]

Problem I am on up-to-date Pop!_OS (~Ubuntu LTS 22.04) and dx 0.7 release fails hotpatch with:

16:36:15 [dev] Failed to generate patch: collect2: fatal error: cannot find ‘ld’
compilation terminated. 
16:36:15 [dev] Build failed: No such file or directory (os error 2) 

ld is of course available, i.e. see same terminal I called dx in

sirati@sirati-pop-os:~/RustroverProjects/dx_project$ ld
ld: no input files
sirati@sirati-pop-os:~/RustroverProjects/dx_project$ which ld
/usr/bin/ld

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• cargo install [email protected] --force
• dx new dx_project
• select desktop, all else no
• dx serve --renderer native --hot-patch --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --bundle linux
• perform any change to prompts hot-patching

Expected behavior

hot-patching to work in a std environment like Ubuntu LTS 22.04 or provide a commandline argument as a workaround for this problem

For me running sudo apt install lld fixed this.

For me running sudo apt install lld fixed this.

Wow. This worked for me. Thanks.

For fedora it would be sudo dnf install lld.
