You need to link your code to the relevant crate in order to be able to use it
|
||||
(through Cargo or the `-L` option of rustc example). Plugins are crates as
|
||||
well, and you link to them the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common causes
|
||||
|
||||
- The crate is not present at all. If using Cargo, add it to `[dependencies]`
|
||||
in Cargo.toml.
|
||||
- The crate is present, but under a different name. If using Cargo, look for
|
||||
`package = ` under `[dependencies]` in Cargo.toml.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common causes for missing `std` or `core`
|
||||
|
||||
- You are cross-compiling for a target which doesn't have `std` prepackaged.
|
||||
Consider one of the following:
|
||||
+ Adding a pre-compiled version of std with `rustup target add`
|
||||
+ Building std from source with `cargo build -Z build-std`
|
||||
+ Using `#![no_std]` at the crate root, so you won't need `std` in the first
|
||||
place.
|
||||
- You are developing the compiler itself and haven't built libstd from source.
|
||||
You can usually build it with `x.py build library/std`. More information
|
||||
about x.py is available in the [rustc-dev-guide].
