Hey everyone. Does anyone use a `Spotify `client on their NetBSD (or other BSD) installation? On my Linux machine I use `Mopidy `with `ncmpcpp `however I believe `Mopidy `relies on `Systemd`. So far I've come across two potential clients, `spotify-tui` & `ncspot`. Both of which are written in `rust `and can be built using Rust's compiler `cargo`. Are there any other options other than these two that I haven't discovered yet?

@"pfr"#p3104 rust ones should work if you compile them .. Check if they are available in pkgsrc.se also I prefer Jamendo 😅

> @"Jay"#p3106 also I prefer Jamendo Hmmm, Not quite the same. Plus, I already have a premium Spotify account and quite a lot of playlists and albums saved and categorised. @"pin"#p3108 It looks like `ncspot `may be the simpler option. It uses `Librespot `rather than `Spotifyd`. I also prefer the simple `ncurses `interface which resembles `ncmpcpp`. The `spotify-tui` interface might look cool to some, but I'm a simple man. As long as it works. So I will try `Librespot` first before trying to build `Spotifyd`.

Although I know I can install Rust using `rustup`, I tried to build it from pkgsrc and got this error: ``` => Tool dependency cmake>=2.8.1nb1: NOT found => Verifying reinstall for ../../devel/cmake => Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20190127 ===> Checking for vulnerabilities in cmake-3.17.3 ===> Installing for cmake-3.17.3 => Generating pre-install file lists /usr/pkgsrc/devel/cmake/work/cmake-3.17.3/Bootstrap.cmk/cmake: Shared object "libuv.so.1" not found gmake: *** [Makefile:1246: cmake_check_build_system] Error 1 *** Error code 2 Stop. make[3]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/cmake *** Error code 1 Stop. make[2]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/cmake *** Error code 1 Stop. make[1]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/llvm *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/rust ``` I'm still learning how to make anything of these errors, but from what it looks like the problem is I'm missing `libuv.so.1` ?

@"pfr"#p3110 its failing to build `cmake`, just install it with `pkgin`. If you want to build packages from source, there're a few utils you should install and have available. Actually, what are you trying to build?

@"pfr"#p3113 depends on the package but, `cwrappers`, `gmake`, `checkperms`, `digest`, `osabi`, `pkgconf` and `x11-links` are rather common. Perhaps also `meson` and `ninja`, just go with your needs. > @"pfr"#p3113 Trying to build lang/rust Why not just installing `rust`? It can be a PITA to build.

> @"pin"#p3115 It can be a PITA to build. I found that out the hard way. Installed with pkgin and all is well. However, following the advice in the README for [ncspot](https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot) : > > By default ncspot is built using the Rodio backend. To make it use the PortAudio backend (e.g. for *BSD or macOS), you need to recompile ncspot with the portaudio_backend feature: > > cargo run --no-default-features --features portaudio_backend,cursive/pancurses-backend I installed portaudio because it wasn't installed already, but now I get a build error: ``` error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.99.0` Caused by: process didn't exit successfully: `/home/dave/Downloads/ncspot/target/debug/build/ncurses-cca56809b8b206f2/build-script-build` (exit code: 101) --- stdout cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=PKG_CONFIG_PATH cargo:rustc-link-lib=ncursesw OPT_LEVEL = Some("0") TARGET = Some("x86_64-unknown-netbsd") HOST = Some("x86_64-unknown-netbsd") CC_x86_64-unknown-netbsd = None CC_x86_64_unknown_netbsd = None HOST_CC = None CC = None CFLAGS_x86_64-unknown-netbsd = None CFLAGS_x86_64_unknown_netbsd = None HOST_CFLAGS = None CFLAGS = None CRATE_CC_NO_DEFAULTS = None DEBUG = Some("true") CARGO_CFG_TARGET_FEATURE = Some("fxsr,sse,sse2") --- stderr /home/dave/Downloads/ncspot/target/debug/build/ncurses-c07513f36080cdf7/out/chtype_size.c:6:10: fatal error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory #include ^~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: command.status().expect("compilation failed").success()', /home/dave/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ncurses-5.99.0/build.rs:105:5 note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish... error: build failed ``` I installed ncurses-6.2, cleaned the build directory and tried again and got the same error.

Does any one here currently have rust installed and feel like giving it a shot to help me out? 😅

@kamil Do you have time this week to update the package and remove our patches?
New release, https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/releases

EDIT: We should keep the patch that makes it default to portaudio, though.

kamil

pin Feel free to update it yourself once you get time.

kamil Ok, sometime next week.

pfr

Awesome! I'll wait for it in the next build 🙂

Time to revisit this thread and provide yet another client front-end to anyone interested, spotify-player

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-wip-changes/2021/09/07/msg021888.html

To all Spotify users on NetBSD. Please see, http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2022/08/10/msg036056.html

ncspot updated to 0.11.1, now defaulting to termion as the backend instead of pancurses.
Hopefully, this won't cause any issues. If so, report and I might switch it back.
The nice thing with termion is that it doesn't need ncursesw like pancurses did.
