My experience building via cargo on WSL Ubuntu

[iwyatt]

In Ubuntu WSL using cargo install termusic termusic-server:

TLDR: Needed to manually install 'libdbus-sys', sudo apt install libasound2-dev, sudo apt install protobuf-compiler before I received a successful compile message. And after all that, when I ran termusic-server and it failed, I realized that Ubuntu WSL doesn't even have a sound device to playback music on. /facepalm .

I might try cross compiling it to Windows 10 instead before loading up a full Ubuntu desktop to try it.

pkg_config failed: `PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS="1" PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS="1" "pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "dbus-1" "dbus-1 >= 1.6"` did not exit successfully: exit status: 1
  error: could not find system library 'dbus-1' required by the 'libdbus-sys' crate

per related github issue tried sudo apt install libdbus-1-dev

and then tried cargo install again but the build failed with the following error:

thread 'main' panicked at '`PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS="1" PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS="1" "pkg-config" "--libs" "--cflags" "alsa"` did not exit successfully: exit status: 1
  error: could not find system library 'alsa' required by the 'alsa-sys' crate

per a hint in this issue comment I ran sudo apt install libasound2-dev and attempted to compile again:

During this build a warning and error were thrown about PROTOC not being available resulting in the error error: failed to run custom build command for termusic-playback v0.7.11`` being thrown. It instructed me to apt-get install protobuf-compiler but since the compiler continued to chug through I didn't have a chance to actually do anything about it until finally failed completely.

So I did sudo apt install protobuf-compiler and again, for the third time, ran cargo install termusic termusic-server.

On this attempted I finally received the message Summary Successfully installed termusic, termusic-server!

When I ran termusic-server, it failed with ALSA lib confmisc.c:855:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'.

Duh. There isn't a sound device for it to initialize.

Currently the build script for ci is working for windows. I build it under msys2 mingw64 environment and works. Only problem now is album photo . It works but not very good. If turn off cover, everything is fine.
