error: could not compile `libc` (build script) due to 1 previous error

A linker error seems to occur and not sure what the build flag does.

Edit: Nvm. Found it. VArious types of linker used for cargo. Might be need to install the package for linker the the build script.

You seem to have completely ignored https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/src/development/linux.md in particular,
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/docs/src/development/linux.md#dependencies

I did run the script and following the same doc. In spite of that, I manually installed mold and some related packages to make it work.

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Sounds like something could be improved in the script then?
Albeit quite odd that no one else had stumbled onto it before, e.g. on my Fedora this script run just fine.

[nova-city]

Reading the script and looks fine to me. Let me try a fresh build later.

Btw, how do I start on contributing? Any advice? Im new to both rust and Open source.

[SomeoneToIgnore]

As a somewhat contradictory take, you don't really have to start contributing if you have no immediate ideas (or if you feel things do not work out for you) — maybe, it's first worth using Zed a bit and finding things that you do not like; also reading through Rust book is useful as the language is somewhat complex.

If you insist still that you want to help with something, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22 is a good pool of issues to consider from.

In your position specifically, I would stay away from making large changes, touching icons and from large changes in the UI — most likely those won't be accepted.
