tree-sitter with musl target

[ath3]

When i build helix with --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, tree-sitter related things dont seem to work.
There is no syntax highlight and textobject queries.
LSP seems to work.

Content of helix.log:

2021-11-08T23:30:37.722 helix_lsp::transport [ERROR] err <- "[ERROR project_model::workspace] cyclic deps: helix_view(CrateId(167)) -> helix_tui(CrateId(161)), alternative path: helix_tui(CrateId(161)) -> helix_view(CrateId(167))\n"

Try cargo clean & wipe runtime/grammars/*. It's possible the grammars didn't get recompiled with musl.

I got the following error message now:

Can we label this as bug? Unless its working for other people of course.

[archseer]

I think you're likely missing some environment variables so cc-rs can find the compiler.

[archseer]

CC etc

[archseer]

Possibly missing musl-gcc? rust-lang/cc-rs#105 (comment)

[jlneder]

I have a similar problem. I am using Void Linux with musl.
I removed the runtime/grammars folder, ran cargo clean, built helix with cargo install --path helix-term --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl and copied the runtime folder to ~/.config/helix/runtime.
Even when i use helix with three v as in hx -vvv rustfile.rs the log file in ~/.cache/helix/helix.log is still empty.
I have no syntax highlight and no LSP support.
I installed tree-sitter, but i guess maybe I'm missing some package or lsp server or something?

[ath3]

Yeah, as it stands now, i cant use helix on our rhel8 work machine.
@archseer: would it be possible to offer musl builds for release versions?

[pickfire]

My pi (2b) uses musl too bad sadly I can't even build some of the dependencies (non-helix) there. If possible I could have tested it there.

[archseer]

Looks like #1603 is building on musl

[pascalkuthe]

Since helix is now packaged for alpine (see #1603 (comment)) which ships musl this seems resolved to me.
