Cargo test--failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.9`

Question

I am trying to compile a Rust project on Windows by using Visual Studio code. But the compiling has error. I have double checked my cargo version which is the latest.

C:\\Users\\Lenovo>rustc -V rustc 1.55.0 (c8dfcfe04 2021-09-06)
C:\\Users\\Lenovo>cargo -V cargo 1.55.0 (32da73ab1 2021-08-23)
Here is the detail:

PS D:\334f21blockchain\Warmup2> cargo test
   Compiling ring v0.16.9

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `D:\334f21blockchain\target\debug\build\ring-b7fec9a4b28b2dd2\build-script-build` (exit code: 1)

Answer 1

I solved the "failed to run custom build command for ring" issue using rust-musl-builder .

Here is what I did:

1. Add the target to rust toolchain:

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

2. Define alias to run a docker container

alias rust-musl-builder='docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src ekidd/rust-musl-builder'

3. Build your project using the container

rust-musl-builder cargo build --release

Here is a list of supported targets: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/platform-support.html
