Problem with starting eww under musl #253

mitinarseny · 2021-08-31T19:51:07Z

Nope, the issue has not been magically resolved... Even with new YUCK configuration language.

$ ./eww --debug --logs --restart daemon

And then I then:

Just to be exactly clear: the log command is still running alongside the open command, and no further output appeared? Is eww still running? Does eww ping work? It's hard, to impossible, to debug issues that can't be reproduced (the above mentioned config works for me) - do you happen to have knowledge with an debugger in order give more insights?

Animeshz · 2021-09-01T02:11:44Z

Are you using X or Wayland? Seems like daemon does not start.

I'd guess that it stucks at line number 57.

Which distro you are using, does it have gtk?

mitinarseny · 2021-09-02T11:14:21Z

Yes, eww logs is still running in a separate shell. I am using Wayland in Void Linux with gtk installed.

Unfortunately, I have no debugging experience in Rust.

snakedye · 2021-09-02T12:53:25Z

Read the eww documentation on Wayland specifically

uncomfyhalomacro · 2021-09-25T21:23:15Z

I can confirm this happens to me in voidlinux with similar output

I forgot to mention, this only happens in musl. Works fine with glibc in void.

elkowar · 2021-10-23T12:38:59Z

Hmmmmmmm, I'm not all that familiar with the differences between glibc and musl in these contexts, but that's definitely weird. Any more hints at what could cause this would be appreciated, these types of edge-cases are somewhat outside of my area of expertise ^^

heavyrain266 · 2021-10-23T21:43:22Z

I'm able to use eww on musl (and freebsd libc), requires compiling gtk3 from source, some musl distros are shipping "shared packages" instead of rebuilding them. I'm using Carbs but even on Void with musl it was working fine for me.

No need anyways, you just need to specify the target for cargo.

demostanis · 2022-02-01T16:04:52Z

Same issue here, running Void Linux with X, the /run/user/1000/eww-server_... file gets deleted after eww daemon

AlphaNecron · 2022-02-02T03:06:05Z

It runs fine for me tho.

Can confirm that. So building gtk3 from source works ? as @heavyrain266 said ? i will give it a try

So i built gtk3 referring the PKGBUILD from AUR on void musl , eww still doesnt create the socket , or it gets deleted right after
Should I remove the gtk3 system package ? Since its getting overwritten it should be fine
Please provide more info this

AlphaNecron · 2022-03-31T10:28:52Z

GTK3 doesn't matter, you need to build eww from source with musl toolchain, right on the target machine.

TripleK2004 · 2022-03-31T12:48:54Z

GTK3 doesn't matter, you need to build eww from source with musl toolchain, right on the target machine.

And thats exactly what i did. How else would the binary even run for me to report
Perhaps this can help me #362 (comment)

EDIT1 : Perhaps thats not exactly what i did
Building with cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release --no-default-features worked

elkowar · 2022-04-19T11:42:18Z

So does this just work? Or is there still anyone having issues when specifying the target explicitly

AlphaNecron · 2022-04-20T12:59:15Z

It works for me, but not sure about others.

mitinarseny · 2022-04-20T20:32:04Z

Does not work for me...

Same segfault with kisslinux (musl too)

nekopsykose · 2022-07-25T06:48:52Z

just like in #362 , you need RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=-crt-static" if you are using a rustup toolchain for it to work correctly. neither is an eww issue, but more of a rustup default issue (the -musl toolchains default to +crt-static, which links musl statically, but the resulting binary is not actually static, so it also gets loaded by the musl loader, so there are 2 musls and it explodes in certain non-basic conditions (gtk::init, etc), or something like that.)
