Compile Issue

error: could not compile ytui_music due to previous error

[sudipghimire533]

Which platform you are trying to compile on. If windows, I am also bit unsure and if in mac/linux then can you please refer to
Linux:

ytui-music/.github/workflows/release-action.yml

Line 28 in 3415c48

- name: Install dependencies

Mac:

ytui-music/.github/workflows/release-action.yml

Line 100 in 3415c48

- name: Install dependencies

Installing mpv dev-dependencies might solve this. Give me an update after trying this ok?

I tried to compile on Mac. It says something like this.
error: linking with cc` failed: exit status: 1

It looks like you're missing libmpv or whatever it's called on macOS.

Could you try installing mpv with brew and then try again?

[mark2185]

It would seem you're missing mpv, ntdll and sqlite3 libraries. Try to find how to install them via choco or something.

NOTE: the mpv package you installed is maybe a binary executable and doesn't provide the necessary library files.

[mark2185]

Is the error the same after running choco install sqlite?

The link says:

This package also installs sqlite tools by default - sqldiff, sqlite3, sqlite3_analyzer.

@BlakeZehner and @mark2185 . I was also unable to compile on windows. If you guys figure out what is the problem please let me know too. ( That is also the reason there is no windows binary in release )
I am unable to look into windows specific problems as I do not have any windows machine

On arch Linux is not working. I downloaded ytui_music-linux-amd64 and make it executable, but it does not run... any idea?

[mark2185]

@bambirombi what happens when you run it? Any error code, error message? Could you try building it from the source?

[ghost]

@mark2185 when I try to run it gives me this: zsh: command not found: ytui_music

Now I have tried: (I had rust installed)
git clone https://github.com/sudipghimire533/ytui-music.git
cargo build --all --release

But I do not understand this step: The compiled binary is located in target/release/ directory. Copy the ytui_music binary and place it somewhere where it is easy to run. Preferrably under $PATH.
So I have to download ytui_music-linux-amd64 and place where exactly?

[mark2185]

The PATH variable is a list of folders where linux will search for the typed command, in this case it is ytui_music-linux-amd64.

You need to put the binary into one of those folders, or create a new one and update your PATH.
I guess the easiest thing would be to:

$> mkdir ~/bin
$> mv /path/to/downloaded/ytui_music-linux-amd64 ~/bin/ytui_music
$> echo "export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc
$> source ~/.zshrc

This will move the binary to ~/bin and rename it to ytui_music, and add that folder to your PATH.
By adding that export PATH... line to your zshrc, it will run every time you spawn a new zsh. And to make update it in the current terminal, you need to source the zshrc file.

This steps does not work mv /path/to/downloaded/ytui_music-linux-amd64 ~/bin/ytui_music Gives: No such file or directory

Is anyway of doing this manually, I mean, without using the terminal?

So instead of that I tried moving "ytui_music-linux-amd64" to the bin folder but does not work.

[mark2185]

This steps does not work mv /path/to/downloaded/ytui_music-linux-amd64 ~/bin/ytui_music Gives: No such file or directory

This was just a placeholder, you need to write the actual path to the downloaded binary. Something like /home/bambirombi/Downloads/ytui_music-linux-amd64?

Is anyway of doing this manually, I mean, without using the terminal?

Well yes, you could use your file explorer if you'd like.

So instead of that I tried moving "ytui_music-linux-amd64" to the bin folder but does not work.

What exactly does "does not work" mean? Does it print out an error, does it explode, or something else?

[ghost]

Thanks!!! It worked. Thanks for your patience.
So:
git clone https://github.com/sudipghimire533/ytui-music.git
cargo build --all --release

mkdir ~/bin
then move ytui_music-linux-amd64 as ytui_music to the created "bin" folder.
echo "export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

ytui_music run

@mark2185 Thanks for help buddy, I really appreciate it. And @bambirombi welcome to ytui- ;*

For anybody receiving this compiler error when attempting to build on M1 or M2 MacOS:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1
...
  = note: ld: library not found for -lmpv

the likely solution you require is:

export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib

or:

export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH

if you already have others.

Homebrew installs libraries on M1 MacOS to a different location it seems, but the build works after this is set. This topic is discussed in further detail; Homebrew/brew#13481.
