How to know what crate is causing this?

I'm on the latest rust, clif and windows dependencies as of today.

[bjorn3]

Looks like the cc crate has started using raw-dylib on Windows: https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/pull/1137 cg_clif doesn't know how to build import libraries yet, and as such raw-dylib doesn't work.

[frederikhors]

Oh crap. And now?

[bjorn3]

https://github.com/rust-lang/ar_archive_writer/pull/15 is a port of LLVM's import library writer to rust allowing it to be used by cg_clif. It was opened a while ago, but I didn't get around to reviewing it until a week ago. It is currently waiting on the author of the PR.

[bjorn3]

I've pushed a commit to get a regular fatal error rather than a panic when using raw-dylib.

[frederikhors]

Ok. In the meantime they maybe are reverting that change... https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/issues/1156#issuecomment-2226916579

[bjorn3]

raw-dylib has been implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift/pull/1524.
