Initial dependencies required for a Kali deployment include build-essential, cmake and fontconfig - all of which are available via apt.</p> <p>It turns alacritty also requires:</p> <ul> <li>libxcb-xfixes0-dev</li> <li>libxcb-xshape0-dev</li> <li>libxcb-render0-dev</li> </ul> <p>Once those three are also added via apt, #alacritty builds completely within cargo. Thanks to Amber for their "Solving Rustc 'cannot find -lxcb-shape'" post on Dev that helped lead me down the solution path for alacritty. </p> <p>Reference: </p> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/amberisvibin" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--54vRrbJd--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--bbBcFYp_--/c_fill%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_150%2Cq_auto%2Cw_150/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/profile_image/467466/16e4e8f0-62ec-426d-947a-a41a1a98b7b1.png" alt="amberisvibin"> </div> </a> <a href="/amberisvibin/solving-rustc-cannot-find-lxcb-shape-oe9" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>Solving Rustc 'cannot find -lxcb-shape'</h2> <h3>Amber 🏳️‍🌈 ・ Sep 11 '20 ・ 2 min read</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#rust</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#linux</span> </div> </div> </a> </div>
