Also add a `declare module "feather-icons"` ambient shim in desktop/src/vite-env.d.ts: Icon.vue (Task 6) imports the untyped feather-icons package, and DeviceSelect is the first production component to pull Icon.vue into vue-tsc's reachable graph, which surfaced a pre-existing missing type declaration that broke `npm run build`.

N-Link
Free, cross-platform, CX-II compatible computer linking program for the TI-Nspire.
This package is a Tauri 2 + Vue 3 + Vite application. It was ported from
Tauri 1.0.0-beta.8 / Vue CLI, which linked webkit2gtk-4.0 and could not build
or run on current distributions (Ubuntu 26.04 ships only webkit2gtk-4.1).
Currently Linux-only: bundle targets are deb and appimage.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+ (npm ships with it — this project uses npm workspaces, not yarn)
- Rust 1.97+
- System libraries (Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo apt-get install -y \
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev \
libsoup-3.0-dev \
librsvg2-dev \
libxdo-dev \
libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
libusb-1.0-0-dev \
build-essential curl wget file
Verify they resolve before building:
for p in webkit2gtk-4.1 javascriptcoregtk-4.1 libsoup-3.0 gtk+-3.0 libusb-1.0; do
printf "%-24s " "$p"; pkg-config --modversion "$p" || echo MISSING
done
Setup
Run from the repository root (this is a workspace member):
npm install
--legacy-peer-deps is no longer needed — n-link-core is on Vue 3 as of the
frontend port.
Note that the root package.json workspaces list contains only desktop and
n-link-core. web/ is deliberately excluded: it is still on Nuxt 2 and pulls
tailwindcss@1.9.6, which npm hoists to the root and which then shadows the
tailwindcss@3 that desktop and @tailwindcss/forms require. Restore the
entry when web is migrated.
Development
cd desktop
npm run tauri dev
Production build
cd desktop
npm run tauri build
Produces src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/*.deb and
.../appimage/*.AppImage.
Headless CLI
The same binary works without a GUI:
./src-tauri/target/release/n-link --help
./src-tauri/target/release/n-link ls /
Notes and gotchas
cargocommands needdist/to exist. Tauri'sgenerate_context!macro validates thefrontendDistpath at compile time, so a barecargo check/cargo buildinsrc-tauri/fails on a fresh clone until the frontend has been built once:npm run build --workspace desktop.npm run tauri builddoes this for you.- Do not run the binary from a snap-confined shell (for example, the
integrated terminal of VS Code installed as a snap). Snap injects an
LD_LIBRARY_PATHwhoselibpthreadshadows the system one, producingundefined symbol: __libc_pthread_init. Use a normal terminal. - AppImage needs FUSE. Without it, run the AppImage with
--appimage-extractand launchsquashfs-root/AppRuninstead. vendor/libnspire-sysat the repo root is a locally patched crate wired in via[patch.crates-io]. It raises the CX II NNSE handshake retry limit (10 → 30), fixes thereadPacketchecksum length bug that made CX II transfers fail with a reportedBusy, and adds NNSE retransmission. The build will not reproduce upstream behaviour without it. Seenlink-cli/README.mdfor the details.
