I tried using Tauri a few weeks back, and the build system is an absolute nightmare.

I gave up after a few hours. The last issue I encountered was it trying to link udev and libinput. libinput is a library for writing compositors, and their website literally state "libinput is not used directly by applications". I've no idea why Tauri was trying to link this (and some rough ideas of why it wasn't working due to the absence of udev on that host), but at this point, I didn't care any more.
