* Error: Missing obscure library from 2007
@nixCraft Followed by
`apt search <obscure library name>`
if found, `apt install` and start from 1., otherwise give up. Yes, this is a loop where the only break condition is failure 😬
For me it usually looks more like this though:
1. cargo build -r
2. successful build, happiness and joy
(yes, the rust evangelist strike force strikes again!)
apt-file search obscurelibraryfrom2007.{h,so,c}
apt install obscurelibraryfrom2007whereisthefile-dev
./configure
