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

Jay 😆 I've pushed that 😆
Still, it doesn't build 🙁
I've managed a few hurdles and wiz fixed another one but, it still errors out.
Unfortunately, buildingrust is rather annoying, the error that it hits now is after 15-20min into compiling it. This means, every attempt to fix it requires time...

pin building on single job? I think rust builds well with 1 job 😅

Jay the error has nothing to do with the number of cores used, though.

pfr

This was all my fault 😅 I appreciate the help though❗️

I give-up on this, I don't even use Spotify❗️
If someone feels like continuing, please feel free...

I really don't like rustc, its so annoyingly slow...

pfr

pin Thanks a ton Pin for even trying I really appreciate it. I guess I'll just have to install OpenBSD if I really need the package 😆

@nia do you happen to have any thoughts on this? @pin tells me you are a certified rustacean 🦀

pfr Fixed by tnn 😄
I wouldn't have figured this out on my own... ncursesw, instead of ncurses.

Enjoy your Spotify through ncspot now @pfr and please report back.
If everything works I'll import the package.
(Remove ncurses and install ncursesw and build the package from wip, after you did a git pull -r, of course).

☺️ needs some configuration.. but it is playing music through my laptop speakers!

Perhaps I need to install some fonts for it to display correctly?

pfr Test it for a few days there're no rush to import.
As for configuration you'll need to figure that out on your own or, ask upstream.

Yeah, that's probably something i can do! I'm just stoked I can plug my headphones in and listen to music from my laptop now instead of my phone. Getting it to look nice would be a bonus (for the screenshots 😉)

EDIT:
Please pass on my gratitude to tnn also, but mostly huge thanks to you @pin for taking the time to reach out, and all those hours spent compiling 😂

pfr Please pass on my gratitude to tnn also

Done 🙂

So I've tried different fonts but it always looks like this.. have raised the question in the github issue.

pfr Have you tried a different terminal? Test in a couple of different terminals to see if it behaves the same.
Suggestions if you need some, qterminal, xfce4-terminal, sakura,... At least with these you have both Gtk and Qt covered.

pfr

SAKURA:

QTERMINAL:

XFCE4-TERMINAL:

pfr ok, so now we know that.
Thanks for trying.
We need to figure this out before I can import the package. Hopefully, upstream can answer the question.

Will try a few different monospace fonts tonight, although I don't think its a font issue at this point. Perhaps it the location of the fonts? I have plenty of nerdfonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/X11/

Forgot to add the distinfo 😓

Looks like you want come (n)curses program to display correctly in xterm. For this a lot of things have to come together:

The environment (locale settings)
(Bug-free) terminal emulator with UTF-8 support.
Fonts for the terminal emulator
Curses library with wide-char support
Finally, configuration of the program itself.

Try these first:

Setup a UTF-8 locale. In ~/.xinitrc and/or ~/.xsession add these lines:

# for use only inside X--doesn't work on NetBSD console.
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE="$LANG"
export LC_ALL=""

Change en_GB to suit your language. Use locale -a to find out the locales available to you. Make sure you use a locale ending in .UTF-8. (I assume a UTF-8 locale from here on.)

Download fonts with wide UTF-8 font coverage. I do this:

# pkgin install  dejavu-ttf noto-ttf

Configure xterm to use the above fonts. Put this in a shell script (I call mine xt):

#!/bin/sh
exec xterm -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book' \
      -fd 'Noto Sans Mono CJK JP Regular:style=Regular' \
      -fs 11 \
      -lc "$@"

Run it: /usr/local/bin/xt, then verify that UTF-8 text is displayed correctly. Fetch some test pages using lynx(1):

lynx -dump -nolist -width=$COLUMNS https://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx_doc/test/utf-8-demo.html
lynx -dump -nolist -width=$COLUMNS http://kermitproject.org/utf8.html

Check if a majority of the chars. are rendered correctly--some exotic ones (esp. CJK ideographs and Indic characters) may be missing (esp. on older versions of xterm). Other test URLs:

Lynx project:
/usr/pkg/share/lynx/lynx_doc/test/utf-8-demo.html
/usr/pkg/share/lynx/lynx_doc/test/unicode.html
/usr/pkg/share/lynx/lynx_doc/test/quickbrown.html

Kermit project:
http://kermitproject.org/utf8.html
http://kermitproject.org/csettables.html
http://kermitproject.org/utf8-t1.html

Let us know how it goes thus far.

rvp Thank you for your input here. Personally, I have no need for this, hence I've never bothered.

@pfr Let's see if you get this working. I'm aware that I'm now cross posting from this other thread
But, let's wait with re-patching/re-building ncspot until you clear this out.

pfr

rvp Thanks rpv.

However this did not fix the issue, at least not specific to the ncurses program ncspot.

@pin I will reinstall this weekend. Probably need to look at recompiling if you are confident there is a fix
