Been running into issues for about a week trying to compile this. Failed to compile for an upgrade and for fresh installs.

error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature `path_file_prefix`

error: could not compile `wallust` (bin "wallust") due to 1 previous error
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
error: failed to build 'wallust-3.5.2-1': 
error: packages failed to build: wallust-3.5.2-1

• My fault I just needed to run rustup update

@badmark you'll need to provide the actual error and or build logs - I've built it successfully in a clean chroot https://github.com/envolution/aur/actions/runs/16113145284

I have been unable to install Wallust on new Arch installs for a little over a week now, can this build issue be corrected?

@mrdwarf: while I was not the one to add that, it is recommended by the current arch package guidelines - so I won't be making that modification. I would suggest you take your recommendation to the discussion page of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rust_package_guidelines at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Talk:Rust_package_guidelines

Had a couple issues getting this one to compile. I use the nightly toolchain by default + rustc-codegen-cranelift. Cranelift isn't available on stable.

For anyone that may run into similar issues, grab the repo and and remove the exported variables for RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN and CARGO_TARGET_DIR. Follow with a 'makepkg -si' as per.

Note for the maintainer:

Unless there's a genuine reason to, please don't hard-code environment variables such as RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN. If the developer required these to be stable variants it is recommended to add a 'rust-toolchain.toml' file to the project. Seems rather uncommon practice when comparing to many other Rust packages.

@damdam_kr you need to install base-devel before using packages in AUR

any help would be appreciated

@envolution - works like a charm. thanks for the quick fix

@hereafter - could you try again?
