ouch for "standard" linux
Maybe I'm blind but I can't find a version for a "standard" linux - read Ubuntu / Debian / Mint / what have you. The brew formula is for macOS only, no repo for default package managers, the release files state musl. Is this something that's still on the roadmap?
Hey, thanks for asking.
You can try the musl version, it's currently our "standard" linux binary that does not require any dependencies.
In future releases we might have a gnu alternative too, however, that would require more explanation on installation instructions for every format library, and for all different systems, I do prefer the musl one because it's easier to set up.
@marcospb19 thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a shot. If the musl one runs well on GNU/Linux then we should be able to fix this, shouldn't we?
Maybe the person who packaged it didn't have a Linux system to test it on, idk.
The script you showed me uses cargo install and compiles from source instead of installing a pre-built binary.
THe build-from-source approach does not benefit from us providing a musl binary, also, Linux by default uses a linux-unknown-gnu so it's not even trying to compile into musl.
I do usually prefer using packages that just install the binary instead, but packaging is not on my hands.
Aight, thanks. Might look into this myself some time in the future. Gonna close this for now.
