Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: pin cargo --target-dir to ./target
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 21:53:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018205305.2634339-1-andy.koppe@gmail.com> (raw)

The Makefile assumes that cargo places build artifacts under ./target.
That assumption breaks if the user has a custom target dir setting, e.g.
in their ~/.cargo/config.toml file or in the CARGO_TARGET_DIR env var.
This results in a link error due to failing to find the gitcore library
built with cargo.

To fix this, pass '--target-dir target' to the cargo commands that build
gitcore. Add it directly to the recipes rather than to CARGO_ARGS, so
that it isn't lost if CARGO_ARGS is overridden.

Leave the contrib/libgit-{sys,rs} targets alone, as nothing depends on
the location of their build output.

The Meson build of gitcore already passes --target-dir explicitly.
