Hey, I’m trying to play with pijul! I first tried installing normally (with cargo install pijul --version "~1.0.0-alpha"), then under rosetta, but in both cases I get this error:

error: could not compile `pijul` due to previous error
error: failed to compile `pijul v1.0.0-beta.2`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/var/folders/qv/h_703px137jfv8jpr328rgx00000gn/T/cargo-installkp5fWn`

Any idea how to resolve this? It seems like cargo isn’t building the executable under rosetta, but I’m not sure how to fix that.

Edit: Since I have nix I managed to install it with nix-env -i pijul, so no urgency

If you are using brew you can install the zstd formulae:

brew install zstd

Also you probably need to install xxhash as well:

brew install xxhash

I recommend you to install both: brew install zstd xxhash

Otherwise, you probably would need to compile and install from source.

After installing both packages, I was able to successfully compile pijul on M1 (without Rosetta), so I hope your installation succeeds as well.

I have made a homebrew package. Open a github issue whenever an updated version is needed. brew install hybras/tap/pijul

https://github.com/hybras/homebrew-tap/blob/main/Formula/pijul.rb

Today (18/6/2022), I was able to install using the instructions only

Hi! It’s been a while since this was reported, but I came here to say that today I updated zstd-seekable to compile zstd and xxhash from an embedded version if they aren’t found on the system, so brew install zstd xxhash shouldn’t even be necessary anymore.

So this should work now. Thanks for the report anyway.
