I have a project that uses this crate but it fails because the linker cannot find 'cryoto.lib' I have installed correctly every dependencies. any idea ?

Hi @Nagispace - I haven't tried building on Windows so I can't give specific assistance. Please could you copy and paste the entire message, in case someone else is able to help?

I'm also trying to build on windows, running cargo build compiles the project but linking fails. Here's the entire error message: https://hastebin.com/osajusoxuf.pl

Thanks - the error appears to be:

error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1181

  = note: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'crypto.lib'

I suspect this relates to the crate dependency cassandra-sys-rs which has the following in its build.rs:

    println!("cargo:rustc-flags=-l dylib=cassandra");
    println!("cargo:rustc-flags=-l dylib=crypto");
    println!("cargo:rustc-flags=-l dylib=ssl");

I think crypto is part of libssl. Perhaps another Windows developer has experience of how to get this library installed?
