Does the error you get with cargo run have any more information than linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1? Generally link errors will have more specific information about what part of linking fails.

sudo apt install gcc-multilib

this may fix.

Ah sorry, I didn't spot it the first time round:

cannot find -lxdo: No such file or directory

I fixed the problem by installing libxdo-dev :) Thanks for your help!

to fix on fedora, you should install

sudo dnf install libxdo-devel

It should be noted that this currently leads to a somewhat rough experience for new users: Just checking out the repo and running cargo run --example hello_world results in an intimidating:

I'm wondering if the hard dependency on -ldxo is actually intentional, or could it be made optional? Why does running the example depend on linking to an x11 automation tool?

nully0x commented 6 months ago

Yeah, I faced the same issue while following this https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.5/getting_started.

I had to also run sudo dnf install perl also to make it build on my machine

0Akise commented 5 months ago

also encountered same issue on Arch Linux, and solved by doing

sudo pacman -S xdotool

it will install libxdo and fixes the issue for Arch :)
