Install error on windows10 with msvc

[Jiannanya]

Hi there, I just install rust and run cmd :

cargo install minidump-stackwalk

But it unexpectedly got an build error:

error: failed to run custom build command for `ring v0.16.20`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\CHENJI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installHQigpm\release\build\ring-4232d471cd9b88f3\build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

How can I solve it?

I don't think there are many people building these crates for Windows, unfortunately. (If you are on Windows you typically would use one of Microsoft's debuggers to read a minidump.) It looks like ring's build is attempting to pass MSVC-style arguments to clang, which obviously won't work. You might be able to set CC to clang-cl, which is the clang frontend with an MSVC-compatible interface. Otherwise I'd recommend having a look at ring's documentation.

@luser I think you meant to link to https://docs.rs/ring/latest/ring/ instead of some Minecraft-related documentation?

🤦 You'd be correct, but https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/main/BUILDING.md is the actual docs link I intended to include (I edited the above comment for clarity). Thanks!

Releases have pre-built Windows binaries now, closing this.
