I'm don't know much about rust, but I noticed something. You list cargo as the make dependency. This is provided by two packages, rust and rustup. The first one is default choice. I've chosen the second, since it's much smaller download. But you actually need the rust compiler so the build failed. So I think you should instead make-depend on rust.

Hi @juxuanu, thank you for pointing that out. I've updated the package.

@sng Oh, that version is very old! You could try updating it before installing/upgrading this raw-thumbnailer with:

rustup toolchain install stable

For reference, this is what I have on my system (the latest available version at the moment of writing this):

$ rustc -V
rustc 1.86.0 (05f9846f8 2025-03-31)

$ rustc -V 
rustc 1.45.2 (d3fb005a3 2020-07-31)
$ pacman -Qo rustc
/usr/bin/rustc is owned by rustup 1.28.1-1

Maybe it's because this is a manjaro box?

EDIT

On both a manjaro and an arch box:

I had to remove rustup and install rust

Then it builds ok!

Sorry for the noise...

@sng are you using rustup? AFAIK the error you're getting is caused by an outdated rustc. Could you please tell me what's the output of running "rustc -V"?

I'm not sure why this package was flagged out of date. That was the last tagged release.
