a-shell pkg install ripgrep

Shows error (not found). Do I need to curl or rg is not possible to use in this app?

Cheers

ripgrep is not available for now. It's a long-standing issue (see #48). The difficulty is that it's written in Rust, so either I compile to WebAssembly using Rust (if it's feasible, I'm not sure) or I compile it to native code using Rust. Until recently, the Rust compiler could not produce dynamic libraries for iOS, so it was not possible, but that has changed so I should give it another try.

I see, thanks.

Hi, ripgrep is now available in a-Shell with pkg install rg. It's been compiled to WebAssembly, so it can feel a bit slow the first time.

Thanks. As I told you elsewhere I am making use of a jailbroken environment. I haven't been able to compile rigrep-all, though. Do you see a way that rga could also be shipped one day?

The problem with ripgrep-all is that it wants to compile and use a ton of helpers (pandoc, xz,...), and the compilation of these helpers fails. In order to compile it, I would need to disable those helpers, and the instructions are unclear on how to do that.
