I created this project some years back and the project just reached v1.1.0. I know most people have jellyfin servers and all set up, but if you have just a local folder of all your series saved up, you can use this to remember what you were watching.
All feedback is welcome. You can also contribute to the project
Seems like you need openssl for some dependancy. What distro are you using. You can install openssl development libraries and check again.
I just saw you said ubuntu
You need to run
sudo apt install libssl-dev
The run
cargo install offflix
It fixed that issue but now there is a new one here is the error message that I am getting now. The message is so long that I have to put it on paste bin https://bin.disroot.org/?8c1747a08e3ce021#2i5ZpnjAjUrHQVrE8Q8Ea9hiWiJoe2V3XMePRHhdnbEs, but here is the start and end of the error message below.
start : error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1 end : = note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpv: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: could not compile `offflix` (bin "offflix") due to previous error error: failed to compile `offflix v1.1.3`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installyRaq9u`. To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.
You need a c compiler. Install gcc or clang
sudo apt install gcc sudo apt install clang
It is still having the same error as before even with installing clang.
Did you install cargo using rustup? Or did you use the system package manager. Using rustup is the preferred method.
PS I don’t have my dev machine with me a this moment. But as I can see many people have so many installation issues, I will try to create a flatpak for the application. I will post soon
It just tried using my system package manager, I will try with rustup and if that doesn’t work I’ll wait for the flatpak. Thank you for all your help!
Uninstall the system package manager… Then install with rustup.
Weird its still giving me the same error after doing that, I’ll just wait for the flatpak thanks for all your help though.
I see… Okay then.
