Error code E0461
Couldn't find crate ..
with expected target triple ..
.
Example of erroneous code:
a.rs
#![crate_type = "lib"]
fn foo() {}
main.rs
extern crate a;
fn main() {
a::foo();
}
a.rs
is then compiled with --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
and b.rs
with --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
. a.rs
is compiled into a binary
format incompatible with b.rs
; PowerPC and x86 are totally different
architectures. This issue also extends to any difference in target triples, as
std
is operating-system specific.
This error can be fixed by:
- Using Cargo, the Rust package manager, automatically fixing this issue.
- Recompiling either crate so that they target a consistent target triple.
