Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fosskers/cargo-aur/issues/33

When I run cargo aur on Debian it works fine, but when I run it on Manjaro I get the error "failed to determine fingerprint for build script for [the package name]".

By default, if your project contains a build script, cargo scans all files in
it to determine whether a rebuild is needed. If you don't expect to access the
file, specify rerun-if-changed in your build script.
See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#rerun-if-changed for more information.

That's quite strange... That looks like cargo output, not cargo aur's. I wonder why you'd be denied permissions here.

It was trying to use the wrong version of the compiler. I had set rust-version to 1.79, but I had 1.85.1 installed. I also ran into the issue of your tool not supporting features. I had to build the package with cargo build --bin hnefatafl-client --release --features client. Then run cargo aur.

(I think that was the issue, I removed and re-installed Manjaro. Meanwhile I switched from rust-version = 1.79 to rust-version = 1.85.1.) Oh... AND I switched from edition = 2021 to edition = 2024. Maybe the edition was the issue, now I'm not sure, but it works now.

I used makepkg on the result of building and got it installed.
