Thank you for the freedback! It looks like you have not installed libc development headers. Try to install libc-dev. This problem also may occurs if rustc is out of date. If this willn't resolve the problem - please provide some information about your OS, rust and gcc version

[getreu]

libc-dev was installed:

Libc-dev: libc6-dev 2.19-18

OS: debian 8 jessie gcc: gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10)

rustc: rustc 1.2.0 (082e47636 2015-08-03)

Best

I've looked better at the error. It is reporting about freetype lib. Maybe you are missing dev headers for it, or lib totally. Please, try to install libfreetype6-dev

Thank you. This helped. The build finishes without error, but I get a runtime error:

´´´ :~/.../release$ ./minesweeper [glutin] x error code=48 major=0 minor=0! [glutin] x error code=66 major=0 minor=0! thread '

' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: "GL context creation failed"', ../src/libcore/result.rs:731 ´´´

Now it should work, if it doesn't help you - let me know, please

[Vinatorul]

Please pass --oldOGL command line flag to run with OpenGL 1.2

[getreu]

It works with ./minesweepers --oldOGL Thank you.
