Hi!
As there is no SailfishOS packaging for librespot for aarch64, I tried to install it using “cargo install librespot” (as described on their GitHub-README), which gives the following error:
[defaultuser@PinePhone ~]$ cargo install librespot
This is the stub cargo. If you see this, scratchbox2 is not working. Called as
/usr/bin/cargo install librespot
Is there something I can do to fix this, or is the installation of packages with cargo just not possible on SailfishOS?
I’m not sure you can compile rust directly on your device. Look at the section Building from source from whisperfish to get an idea how to compile rust.
Edit: Oh, and if you’re motivated it would be very nice to submit a PR to improve Sailfish’s documentation.
I tried to use the instructions of Whisperfish, but then I discovered that librespot (obviously) doesn’t include a .spec file and therefore sfdk complains about that.
As I don’t know how to write such a file, I will leave this for now.
curl option here is best - Install Rust - Rust Programming Language
It’d be really great to some how get this into the librespot sailfish-spotify · GitHub context. I’ve ‘sort of’ pushed to get hutspot into chum, which is fine, but lacks a method of building librespot reliably.
I could easily make aarch64 rpm, if you want, (cargo-rpm)
It’d be really helpful to know if building from https://github.com/sailfish-spotify/librespot can be reproduced. I just haven’t had the time to see if that works. But you, obviously, have a clue.
If the info there is NOT usable, I have commit access and can update instructions. I just don’t have time for futzing about with rust builds at the moment.
I also don’t know if this can be done on obs/chum?
I’ll try… Meanwhile, here’s this, if anyone wants - 2.57 MB file on MEGA
Copying source and running ‘cargo build’ fails…
error is
error: failed to run custom build command for portaudio-sys v0.1.1
Ok, I’ll see if I can track that down.
EDIT: The sailfish repo is way far behind upstream. And the portaudio patches, among other things are from 1.22 (we have 1.5x). This is going to need some love from a rust dev.
Just to check, you just pulled from the main repo at: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot and built directly?
Oops - sorry, no… I just hastily saw your link in post 9 and thought you wanted to test that one…
This one builds fine…
Wow, thank you! I will try it again to compile for myself at some point, if it works so easy for you. Did you build directly on a SailfishOS-Device?
Thanks for confirming! I’ll see if I can find someone to help.
Yes - just run curl commamd, and rust installed. Then just run cargo install (whatever), or download source & cd and run cargo build…
Thank very much you for your help!
