#487 Build failure with Rust nightly at HEAD (570d7fe)

I have a suspicion that this is due to not having ‘gettext’ package installed. If this is the case, will close this issue and report bug against gettext_macros crate for the unclear error message.

Closing. See https://github.com/Plume-org/gettext-macros/issues/7

I was able to resolve the gettext failure, as mentioned above.

However, I’m now bumping into https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/58922 while installing the sqlite crate:

+ cargo install --no-default-features --features sqlite
warning: Using `cargo install` to install the binaries for the package in current working directory is deprecated, use `cargo install --path .` instead. Use `cargo build` if you want to simply build the package.

Is there a version of rustc/cargo which is known to work?

there is a compiler release tagged in ./rust-toolchain, it should have been used by cargo instead of your default one, I don’t know why it did not

It looks like this was due to bad precedence in $PATH -- the rustup toolchain bin dir was in the $PATH explicitly and came before the cargo bin dir.
