Building on Windows x64 with MSVC not working
Created by: ArmsOfSorrow
Hello,
I wanted to write a simple program that just reports the linked gstreamer version. It looks like this:
fn main() {
let version = gstreamer::version_string();
println!("Hello, world! You're using {}", version);
}
The build fails with:
error: failed to run custom build command for `glib-sys v0.5.0`
process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\waved\Desktop\devel\projects\gst-print-version\target\debug\build\glib-sys-04fcb8127bd3b7bb\build-script-build` (exit code: 1)
--- stderr
MSVC target detected. If you are using the MSVC ABI rust build, please use the GNU ABI build instead.
Now, this is not a gstreamer bug per se, but I'm curious why I can't build this with the recommended default toolchain for my platform.
