Fails to compile on aarch64 with rust 1.82.0 : root Cargo.toml is missing field version

[drauschenbach]

On a Mac:

cargo build
error: failed to parse manifest at `/Users/davidr/workspaces/tinywasm/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  missing field `version`
  in `package`

On an arm32v7 Raspberry Pi, it builds fine.

Hm, seems weird that cargo is behaving differently for both targets. This CI run on 1.82 also didn't error on macos with an m1. The version field shouldn't be required as the root package is never published (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-version-field, since 1.75), can you double check your rust/cargo version? Might be a cargo bug.

edit: does it maybe work with cargo build --workspace ?

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.82.0 (f6e511eec 2024-10-15)

$ cargo --version
cargo 1.82.0 (8f40fc59f 2024-08-21)

$ machine
arm64e

Nope.

$ cargo build --workspace

In my personal projects I use cargo set-version <n.n.n> which sets all the workspace member versions, and the root, in a single command.

Hm, odd. I don't have my mac setup with me right now so I can check in a couple of days. Until then I guess just adding a "0.0.0" version to the root [package] should work, seems like a small cargo bug.

I'm using cargo-workspaces to publish/version since it can independently version specific workspace members.

No rush. Just wanted it added to the backlog, for visibility.
