cargo-generate bug iconv libiconv

linking error between macOS and macport provided libiconv library #1208

The problem is widespread and long lasting with many long discussions.

Longstanding GHC linking issues when multiple iconv libraries are installed on macOS (Haskell #18743)

 

long discussion:

MacOS iconv linkage misdetection (also deprecation warnings) #830

 

libiconv breaks compatibility with OS-provided #57821

 

Examples of possible fixes: 

ghc: Bugfixes for test and iconv linking #8523

Fix i/macOS libc++ initialization on early instrumentation #194

emacs install rust-mode, universal binary, emacs-nw

Install rust-mode for emacs

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-mode?tab=readme-ov-file#melpa

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html 

https://melpa.org/#/getting-started

create 

touch ~/.emacs.d/init.el

add lines to init.el

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)

 

Now you can install rust-mode with:

M-x package-install rust-mode

And put this in your config to load rust-mode automatically:

(require 'rust-mode)

emacs in the terminal

Prevent launching of a new window for emacs.

 sudo ln -s /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/emacs-nw /usr/local/bin/emacs

 

macOS emacs Universal Binary

emacs osx Universal binary 

lipo -arch almost pointless; tried it on the emacs Universal Binary only reduced the size by 4MB.  Not worth it.  

 man lipo

lipo -archs Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs

 

lipo -remove x86_64 Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -output Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs2

eclecticlight.co has an article about it:

Considering nix on macOS

Stop the madness: Let's not go down this rabbit hole

I have known about nix and nixOS for a long, long time.  I think Eelco Dolstra was still a graduate student when I first took it for a spin.  It was cool; but I didn't need its features because I was not a developer.  port (macports.org) does everything I need.
