Error building npm run build:program-ruston NixOS - no subcommand build-bpf

[rollschild]

Hi,

I'm a newbie in the Solana world and I was trying to build the project using npm run build:program-rust but got the following error:

> cargo build-bpf --manifest-path=./src/program-rust/Cargo.toml --bpf-out-dir=dist/program

error: no such subcommand: `build-bpf`

I'm using NixOS. All I installed was the package solana-testnet which is supposed to package the solana-cli.

From this issue I got to know somehow I need to install the solana-cargo-bpf package but as the comment said the package wasn't found.

$ cargo install solana-cargo-build-bpf                                                                                                                                                                     
    Updating crates.io index
error: could not find `solana-cargo-build-bpf` in registry `crates-io` with version `*`

Any help? Thanks!

#444 just report the issue and closed. But the solution doesn't work for me. I used the same environment setting (rust version, solana version). But I installed solana by cargo install.

I just re-install solana few minutes ago (follow the doc https://docs.solana.com/cli/install-solana-cli-tools), then it works now. It seems use cargo install to install solana would lost something .... If you install solana by cargo, you could try this way.

@septemhill I did the same!

give official docs a shot @rollschild

AFAIK it's not possible to install the build-bpf subcommand using cargo, you have to install precompiled binaries using the docs linked above or build and install from source using scripts/cargo-install-all.sh

Try this one, not sure, but it might solve this issue,
basicaly reversing the shared folder managment system to an older version.
You will always be able to bring back a newer version if you'd like (using the same comands with another link).
This problem tends to happen with the Solana interface.

solution:
run these in CLI:
1) download file from the link
wget https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libssl1.1/download
2) then install it using:
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.18_amd64.deb
