Description
When trying to build from source using the tar.gz available to download I got this message :
❯ cargo build -r 2>| grep error -A 8
error: couldn't read `src/ui/../../assets/font/DejaVuSans.ttf`: No such file or directory (os error 2)
--> src/ui/tray.rs:176:21

176 | let font_data = include_bytes!("../../assets/font/DejaVuSans.ttf");

error: could not compile `librepods` (bin "librepods") due to 1 previous error; 13 warnings emitted
I think the path to the font asset should be different, putting the font availability as a requirement and using the standard path for font /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ could be a way to fix it (in linux-rust/src/ui/tray.rs ).
fn generate_icon(text: &str, text_mode: bool, charging: bool) -> Icon {
use ab_glyph::{FontRef, PxScale};
use image::{ImageBuffer, Rgba};
use imageproc::drawing::draw_text_mut;
let width = 64;
let height = 64;
let mut img = ImageBuffer::from_fn(width, height, |_, _| Rgba([0u8, 0u8, 0u8, 0u8]));
- let font_data = include_bytes!("../../assets/font/DejaVuSans.ttf");
+ let font_data = include_bytes!("/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf");
let font = match FontRef::try_from_slice(font_data) {
Ok(f) => f,
Err(_) => {
return Icon {
width: width as i32,
height: height as i32,
data: vec![0u8; (width * height * 4) as usize],
};
}
};
Another way would be to bundle the font in the archive, which perhaps seems the best.

Research direction
Start with linux-rust/src/ui/tray.rs and reproduce the failure using cargo build -r from the downloadable source archive. Check whether assets/font/DejaVuSans.ttf is included in the archive and how the font is referenced. Done means the archive builds successfully without requiring an unavailable relative asset or an unspecified system path.
