Compiling pwninit v3.0.1

same issue here, going crazy :)
What version of Rust do you have installed and does updating to the latest stable Rust fix it?
v1.53.0.
I think this is the latest version.
That is really confusing. I tried just now with v1.53.0 and it worked for me, and v1.53.0 added this feature https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md#libraries-1. Are you sure you're compiling with v1.53.0?
reinstall your rust may be it can fix this problem
@Lambangaw's suggestion to reinstall Rust is a good idea. I'm going to close this issue for inactivity and because I have no idea what the problem is, but feel free to reopen it if you still have the issue. Worst case, I can change the way it does OsString concatenation.
Quick fix that worked for me on Kali Linux: Install Rust using the official installer script instead of the version in the Kali repos (v1.48 vs. v1.53 at the time of writing):
-
Make sure to uninstall the repo version first:
sudo apt remove --purge cargo && sudo apt autoremove -
Install using the script provided here:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -
Build pwninit:
cargo install pwninit
