@scarleo This happens if you have rustup instead of rust installed and not yet set a default toolchain. I've added a environemnt variable that will select the stable toolchain in these situations, as recommended by https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rust_package_guidelines. The package should build for you now without having to do rustup default stable (though you might want to do that anyway).

@AlexBocken I've noticed that some of the tests are failing intermittently. I'm trying to identify which these are since I would still like to perform testing in the package, if viable. Could you try re-building and see if the same tests fail again?

check() fails for me (4 / 451) tests fail.

One of the errors:

Any clue how to fix this? You can find the full build log at https://bocken.org/static/watchman_build.log in case that could be of any use.

@scarleo have you tried running rustup default stable as recommended in the error? Still not working?

Fails to build:

Took a look at this software, seems like it tries to download and build all dependent libraries even if they're present in the system. Might need some patches to use the system versions instead.

Is this missing watchman service like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/watchman-bin?

For whoever flagged this package, I have unflagged it.

All releases since 4.9.0 have been internal Facebook releases, and Facebook is neither testing that the code will build on non-FB systems, nor willing to support people outside of Facebook. Everyone outside of Facebook are supposed to use the binary builds. Sadly, it's the way it is at Facebook open source.

For what is worth, I could not get the latest weekly releases to build. I'm still trying, but unfortunately without much luck. If you could, then your help is much appreciated. Before that happens, we'd have to stick to 4.9.0.

If you do need the latest weekly release, I guess you have to use watchman-bin until I'm able to fix the build...
