macOS installation problems about libremarkable HOT 8 CLOSED

The toolchain is meant for linux and not MacOS. Instead of playing whack-a-mole with the script, I'd suggest using the docker toolchain instead.

Thanks @Eeems.

I also just came across this article https://sigmaris.info/blog/2019/02/cross-compiling-rust-on-mac-os-for-an-arm-linux-router/

Is there any reason not to use --target=armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf instead, which seems to be less problematic and doesn't require docker toolchain (which I have no have prior experience with) ?

You'd have to ask @canselcik

As for the docker toolchain, it shouldn't be that difficult to work with. There is already a Dockerfile in this repository, but you can also use mine as a starting point (https://github.com/Eeems/oxidize/tree/master/docker-toolchain/cargo)
You can see some samples of how to use it here: https://github.com/Eeems/oxidize/blob/master/Makefile#L27-L60

In the readme I see:

Make sure to build with lto = true otherwise musl symbols may be improperly resolved (call to mmap fails).

But not sure how do I set lto = true (sorry I'm new to systems programming & Rust)

You set it in the Cargo.toml:

@Gozala I only tried on Debian, but it might give you some hints to get it working on macOS too: #34

@Gozala is this still relevant or could this issue be closed since it has been some time?
