bindgen-cli install fails on gh x86_64-unknown-illumos runner

[tessus]

When cross compiling on x86_64-unknown-illumos, I got a message that bindgen-cli was required.

So I thought I'd intall bindgen-cli via cross install --force --locked bindgen-cli --target x86_64-unknown-illumos, but got the following error:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

How do I get bindgen-cli to work on the github runner for x86_64-unknown-illumos?

[pvdrz]

the linker is giving you the libraries it cannot found so I'd start by installing those.

[tessus]

Thanks a bunch for your answer.

I am not familiar with illumos. It is used for some reason in a project I am contributing to, but I have never heard of illumos. I'll try to find out how to install packages and which packages are required for these libs.
Additionally, I wasn't sure whether this error message is actually reporting something the correct way. As I mentioned, I have never heard of illumos before. Who knows, these libs could be installed, but just not be found.
I hoped that someone would have already gone through all that. I mean I can't be the first one to try to get bindgen-cli installed on illumos. ;-) Especially since it seems to be required when rustls 0.23 is used as a dependency.

[pvdrz]

Well the first thing I would do is search for each of the libraries under /usr using find and if not try to search them under the root directory and, if found, set the -L rust flag with the path to each library. Otherwise I'd check if they can be installed using some package manager. I've never used illumos but it seems that pkgsrc is available so you can install them using pkg install.
