Just a quick remark but for a simple command line utility, I really like a static binary you only need to download, drop into a directory in the path. I am always wary of tools that need to install either a python or node.js distribution, because this seems unnecessary bloat, and might mess with local install if you are not careful.
- dystroy 7y agoYou can download binaries from there: https://dystroy.org/broot/documentation/installation/ https://dystroy.org/broot/documentation/installation/
- JosephHatfield 7y agoStrange that Chrome doesn't appear to trust broot.exe. When that binary is downloaded, the downloaded file message is: broot.exe is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous.
- nkrisc 7y agoWell the first part of the message is almost certainly true and likely what is triggering the message.
- leeman2016 7y agoIn addition to Chrome, Windows 10 seems to be suspicious too ... I don't know why though.
- progval 7y agoBut they only work with a subset of architectures (only x86_64 in this case) and a subset of OSs (Windows with GNU installed, Linux with GNU libraries including libc and libgcc)
- swiley 7y ago>Linux with GNU That’s why he said static, although I’m not sure gcc will produce totally static binaries anymore.
- saagarjha 7y agogcc would be happy to, but glibc doesn't really like to be linked statically.
- _-___________-_ 7y agomusl, however, is happy to be!
- roller 7y agoRust on windows has targets for msvc or gnu. The MSVC integrates better with Visual Studio and other Microsoft libraries for development. One downside I've found is that it dynamically links against a msvcrt DLL. Which means you may need to download and install a Visual C++ Redistributable package to run. The gnu target seems to be fully static and run everywhere with no dependencies.
