How do I fix this error?

Solution

  • According to rdkafka-sys's README:

    Build

    Known issues

    • Windows is only supported when using the CMake build system via the cmake-build Cargo feature.

    Assuming you're using rdkafka rather than rdkafka-sys directly, enable the cmake-build feature by writing your dependency like this in Cargo.toml:

    [dependencies]
rdkafka = { version = "0.37", features = ["cmake-build"] }
