Cannot find `glutin` in `glium` when using Conrod

Question

I am attempting to add a GUI to a small project of mine using Conrod. I have managed to work my way down to 3 compilation errors:

error[E0433]: failed to resolve. Could not find `glutin` in `glium`
  --> src/support/mod.rs:88:53
   |
88 |     pub fn next(&mut self, events_loop: &mut glium::glutin::EventsLoop) -> Vec<glium::glutin::Event> {
   |                                                     ^^^^^^ Could not find `glutin` in `glium`

   --> src/support/mod.rs:106:24

I've studied the examples that ship with Conrod (particularly the text_edit.rs example) and have successfully compiled and run them. As far as I can tell, they use the same techniques (as my code is directly inspired by their examples), yet does not suffer from the unresolved imports of glutin .

Furthermore, I cannot seem to find any reference to glutin in the project directory itself:

$> pwd
~/dev/conrod/src

For reference, my Cargo.toml also includes glutin as a dependency:

[features]
default = ["winit", "glium"]

winit = ["conrod/winit"]
glium = ["conrod/glium"]

[dependencies]
conrod = "^0.57"
find_folder = "*"
glutin = "*"

Answer 1

I believe this is a misconception about the module structure of conrod and glium .

The conrod crate has a number of backend modules, containing utility functions for each of the different backends. conrod::backend::glium is this module for glium, and it contains structures and things useful for using conrod with glium.

In your case, however, I think you mistook this module for glium itself .

glium is a separate crate from conrod, and you'll need to depend on it much like you depend on glutin . glium does indeed have a glium::conrod property, so if you do pull it in with extern crate glium; rather than using conrod::backend::glium , it should "just work"!

You'll need to add some line glium = 0.x in your Cargo.toml as well, but that should be trivial.
