I have installed alpha.31, failed build alpha.36

pager on macOS should be enabled in #256, I don’t know how it happened.

$ cargo install pijul --version 1.0.0-alpha.36

So, I can reproduce the issue with cargo install pijul --version 1.0.0-alpha.36, but I can also confirm that the issue is not present on main, whether I run nix build or cargo build.

The Cargo.toml of the release still contains the line

[target."cfg(target_os = \"linux\")".dependencies.pager], so the fix is not in the release

I don’t know the release process (I’m assuming it’s manual), so I can’t say if there is an issue there, or if it’s normal. Maybe @pmeunier can answer this.

I found latest version which can be build on macos now is alpha.31

I found a solution to compile the latest version of pijul (pijul-1.0.0-alpha.37) by downloading the package from crates.io and modifying the Cargo.toml.

• Download the crate’s tarball by visiting https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/pijul/1.0.0-alpha.37/download (it work in the browser but not with cURL).
• Change the extension of the downloaded file from .crate into .tar.gz.
• Extract the tarball by double-clicking on it. For example, you’ll get a folder, go inside.
• Modify the Cargo.toml file like this:

- libpijul = { path = "../libpijul", version = "1.0.0-alpha.32", features = [ "tarball" ] }
+ libpijul = { version = "1.0.0-alpha.32", features = [ "tarball" ] }

- [target.'cfg(target_os = "linux")'.dependencies]
+ [target.'cfg(unix)'.dependencies]

• Install the locally modified crate by doing a simple cargo install --path .

I hope it helps, Note that I used nix-env and installed the pkg-config, libsodium, openssl, xxHash, zstd packages. I tried using nix-shell, but there was a linker error (missing cc), so I go outside of the nix-shell and found out that it was compiling well.

alpha.38 built ok.
