Error compiling backtrace-sys v0.1.24

[MRECoelho]

Currently working on Solus with rustc 1.30.1 (1433507eb 2018-11-07). I saw a similar problem here, however I didn't quite understand the answer. My best guess was to add the submodules crate to my toml file, which didn't help much.

The project I'm working on can be found here.

Error:

Thanks for the report! This looks like it's largely just a missing header file though? Perhaps a misconfigured local C compiler?

[MRECoelho]

Forgive my incompetence, I had to read upon header files and how exactly you could configure a c compiler before I wanted to mess with stuff I didn't get. But you were right about the misconfiguration! For reference sake I though I'd share my steps to solving the problem.

So, first I had to install a complete C compiler toolchain using:

sudo eopkg install -c system.devel

I know I've done that in the past but apparently I butchered the latest installation of my OS. Anyway, that lead to a new compiler error complaining about a missing not being able to find 'lsdl2' even though it was there. This thread showed me the solution, which was to create a new symbolic link.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libSDL2-2.0.so /usr/lib64/libSDL2.so

This all might be trivial, but it was a bit new to me ;)

Anyway, thank you so much for you fast response and pointing me in the right direction!

[alexcrichton]

Ok glad it worked out! I'm gonna close this issue as I don't think there's much we could have done about this on this crate's side
