error: Usage of --profile requires -Z unstable-options

[coffeepotkiller]

I compiled and installed this within my Windows partition on my Thelio Mira r1 about two years ago without issue.

However, today I had to reinstall my Windows OS and when trying to set this up again I'm running into this error at the python build.py step:

error: Usage of `--profile` requires `-Z unstable-options`
Error[1] (Command): The 'cargo' application failed with exit code = 101
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\grizzle\Desktop\thelio\build.py", line 16, in <module>
subprocess.check_call([
File "C:\Python312\Lib\subprocess.py", line 413, in check_call
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['cargo', 'wix', '--nocapture', '--verbose']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I searched through all the source files in this repo but I can't find any mention of the --profile argument where I could try to manually add -Z unstable-options. I don't know anything about Rust though...

Which version of rust are you using?

Which version of rust are you using?

Looks to be: rustc 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2023-12-21)

Can you try running cargo install -f cargo-wix?

I tried that, no change!

Looks like https://github.com/system76/thelio-io-windows/blob/master/rust-toolchain specifies 1.53.0, while --profile was stabilized in 1.57.0.

So the version in rust-toolchain needs to be bumped to something newer.

That fixed it for me!! I updated my local rust-toolchain file to 1.57.0 and I was then able to build the MSI and install it. I can now take my noise cancelling headphones off :-)

@jackpot51 @ids1024 thank you so much....I'm immensely appreciative how quickly you both jumped in here to help
