Note: switching to 'origin/stable'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at eadc8a2a Merge pull request #2530 from AFLplusplus/dev

thread 'main' (898359) panicked at /home/marc/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-1949cf8c6b5b557f/cargo-afl-0.16.0-rc.0/src/main.rs:145:34:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: could not run 'make clean install' in /home/marc/.local/share/afl.rs/AFLplusplus
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

as make clean install works in '/home/user/.local/share/afl.rs/AFLplusplus' my guess is the working directory is wrong when executing make?

And I propose to add --dev => $ cargo afl config --update --dev to checkout the dev branch

Could I impose on you to cargo afl config --update --force --verbose and paste output (minus anything sensitive)?

And I propose to add --dev => $ cargo afl config --update --dev to checkout the dev branch

I just tested and it appears --tag dev works. Could that suffice?

Sorry, I had not see the --tag parameter. that works, thanks :)

I tried the command you asked me - and now it works. I have installed a newer rust toolchain in between though. But this should not have changed anything for compiling AFL++. weird.

Thanks very much for testing and please let me know if the problem arises again! 🙏
