[SOLVED] newsboat does not compile on Slackware 14.2

I'm trying to compile newsboat on 14.2, but receive an error about cargo not being found. Cargo seems to be the package manager for rust.

Code:

cargo build --package libnewsboat-ffi --verbose --release
make: cargo: Command not found
make: *** [/tmp/SBo/newsboat-2.22.1/target/release/libnewsboat.a] Error 127
Makefile:138: recipe for target '/tmp/SBo/newsboat-2.22.1/target/release/libnewsboat.a' failed
Failures:
  newsboat: newsboat.SlackBuild return non-zero

I think that rust should be installed on my system, but I don't see it (it's a recent, standard full installation of 14.2).

On slackbuilds.org there's a slackbuild for rustup. Do I need to install this to compile newsboat?

hi cdek,

in slackware 14.2 you can find rust in /patches/packages/ as it has been added after the 14.2 release to build the newer versions of firefox

Hi ponce,

thanks, that explains why I couldn't find it. But shouldn't rust have been installed when I did

Code:

# slackpkg install-new

then?

Unfornately, I still get a compile error

Code:

error: process didn't exit successfully: `rustc -vV` (exit code: 127)
--- stderr
rustc: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

make: *** [/tmp/SBo/newsboat-2.22.1/target/release/libnewsboat.a] Error 101
Makefile:138: recipe for target '/tmp/SBo/newsboat-2.22.1/target/release/libnewsboat.a' failed
Failures:
  newsboat: newsboat.SlackBuild return non-zero

Maybe there's another package that I'm missing?

You need also to update llvm with the one in /extra (version 8.0.1).

Thank you, it compiled without further problems
