Lower required libc6 version if possible about tv

[iamjameswalters]

@alexhallam might still be looking into the libc version, but at least in the meantime @Mejari, tidy-viewer is now available as a snap, which should install fine on your 16.04 system. You can install it with snap install tidy-viewer --edge.

[Mejari]

Unfortunately for me I'm using Ubuntu via the Windows subsystem, which has snap disabled. But I'm sure having it available through there will be very useful in general.

[alexhallam]

I would like to make sure this can work for you @Mejari . With some help from the good volunteers on the Rust Discord channel I took a look at the tree today with cargo tree

I may be able to grab lower visions of some of these libraries. The requirement for libc 0.2.94 froms from three libraries console, crossterm,structopt.

console

I am pretty sure this is old code and needs to be removed. I was using this before I started using crossterm.

crossterm

I use this to get terminal dimensions across platforms. I could not remove it, but I could try using some older versions.

structopt

This is the core of the cli options/flags. I could not remove it, but I could try using some older versions.

[alexhallam]

Thanks for opening this. I want this package to be more accessible. I need to see what is requiring this libc version

[alexhallam]

@Mejari can you install the linux binary? I am curious if this gets around the issue.

[alexhallam]

Alternatively can you install the windows binary?

[alexhallam]

On linux do

wget https://github.com/alexhallam/tv/releases/download/0.0.20/tidy-viewer--x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
tar -xvzf tidy-viewer--x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
cd tidy-viewer--x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

at this point you should see tidy-viewer. Let me know if you still have issues.

I am worried about potential breaks in code by changing library versions.
