Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/1027

I installed spotify-tui from the aur with yay. During the compile, this error occured:

error[E0512]: cannot transmute between types of different sizes, or dependently-sized types
   --> /home/salmon/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/socket2-0.3.12/src/sockaddr.rs:176:9
    |
176 |         mem::transmute::<SocketAddrV4, sockaddr_in>(v4);
    |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    |
    = note: source type: `SocketAddrV4` (48 bits)
    = note: target type: `sockaddr_in` (128 bits)

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0512`.
error: could not compile `socket2` due to previous error

Searched for "transmutate" type keywords, didn't see any issues, my bad if this is a dupe.

Edit: 3 months later I realized I put sporify-tui

Just wanted to add into this issue:

Rust in its version 1.64.0 made changes to Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr, SocketAddrV4 and SocketAddrV6. Also, when using std::mem::transmute it results in invalid memory accesses.
Rust 1.64.0 Compatibility Notes

With all of these, the newest version of Rust broke some crates, and now spotify-tui has problems with memory and different bit sizes and stuff.
So they recommend doing cargo update to mitigate for now, and it works as a workaround (adding the cargo update somewhere before it reads the Cargo.lock and Cargo.toml files and .patches.

I had to manually do the editing, building and compiling from "source" (AUR in Arch Linux).

Also, after running makepkg si with the cargo update command already in place, it updates the files but after that it is required to download updated versions of some of the dependencies/creates and 1 or 2 required http and also, obviously for all the update, network connection is required so the --frozen option had to be temporary removed.

For me, it built succesfully after that even using this PKGBUILD.

Hi, I have little to no knowledge when it comes to rust,
What files are you editing or updating before doing the build? I am stuck there.

I tried doing the cargo update, but I do not have Cargo.toml on spotify-tui root folder.
I extracted the rspotify-0.10.0 and ran cargo update in that directory but still got the error when building.

For me, I just clone the [AUR}(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify-tui) git. Then, I edit the PKGBUILD file on line 38-46 into this.

build() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable
  export CARGO_TARGET_DIR=target
  cargo update
  cargo build  --release
  ./target/release/spt --completions bash > target/release/spt-completion.bash
  ./target/release/spt --completions zsh > target/release/spt-completion.zsh
  ./target/release/spt --completions fish > target/release/spt-completion.fish
}

I don't know if this is the correct approach.

That worked, thank you so much!

Also fixed the issue on a nearly fresh arch install.

Came back and it is building now so no reason for this to stay open.
