rb-sys Failed to build on Windows latest: defines.h:43:11: fatal error: 'strings.h' file not found\n")

I have a Tauri project and got a compilation error on Windows's latest runner on GitHub action:

error: failed to run custom build command for `rb-sys v0.9.100`
Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `D:\adesktop\src-tauri\target\release\build\rb-sys-ef992799c55b6db2\build-script-main` (exit code: 101)

Initially, I thought it was because of a mismatch in the Ruby version, which used version 3.0.0 by setup-ruby action. Now it's the correct ruby, but it still has the same errors.

I have several Cargo.toml files. My main Cargo.toml:

[build-dependencies]
tauri-build = { version = "1.5", features = [] }

[dependencies]
anyhow = "1"
chrono = "0.4.31"
futures = "0.3"
home = "0.5.4"
hound = "3"
log = "^0.4"
once_cell = "1.18.0"
reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["json"] }
ringbuf = "0.3"
rodio = "0.19"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1"
serde_repr = "0.1"
tauri = { version = "1.7.1", features = [] }
tauri-plugin-log = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v1", features = ["colored"] }
tauri-plugin-store = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v1" }
url-builder = "0.1.1"
uri-template-system = "=0.1.0"

# Local crates
crate_error_codes = { path = "./../../../lib/crate_error_codes" }
crate_models = { path = "./../../../lib/crate_models" }

[features]
# by default Tauri runs in production mode
# when `tauri dev` runs it is executed with `cargo run --no-default-features` if `devPath` is an URL
default = ["custom-protocol"]
# this feature is used for production builds where `devPath` points to the filesystem
# DO NOT remove this
custom-protocol = ["tauri/custom-protocol"]

crate_error_codes:

[package]
name = "crate_error_codes"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_repr = "0.1"
tsync = "1"
magnus = { version = "0.6.2" }
strum = "0.26"
strum_macros = "0.26"

crate_models:

[package]
name = "crate_models"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_repr = "0.1"
tsync = "1"

Any clue?

Solution

  • This is due to magnus, which I no longer use in my project. So, the solution for me was to remove it, and the build worked like a charm.
