ALSA isn’t available on Mac; it stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. Try compiling with the flags —no-default-features and —features “portaudio_backend”

i get same error building

[Icelk]

@lux1992 Have you tried using the portaudio_backend feature with the --no-default-features flag?

[lux1992]

Yes, just got it to with works with
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features="portaudio_backend" && cargo install --path . --locked --no-default-features --features="portaudio_backend
Amazing tool!

thanks @IsELK!, closing this as it seems resolved. Feel free to reopen if this was not your issue @johnalanwoods

[johnalanwoods]

@robinvd sorry for late reply on this. Yep all resolved. Great to have Spotifyd on the M1 Mac, so much more efficient than the official client.
