Rust cannot link with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc`

Question

I am trying to make a get request to a url with rust and everytime I run this project I get this error, my other rust project work fine. here's my cargo.toml file.

[package]
name = "api_req"
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"] }
reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"]}

this is the output I get when I try to build/run the code.

error: linking with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` failed: exit code: 1

  = note: ld: cannot find -lntdll

Juju

This is the whole output? There's no linker error somewhere before? – Bealle

@Bealle I have edited the question, sorry for not posting the entier log – Juju

Seems it cannot find the Windows NT dll. – Leong

Could you please elaborate? how do I fix it? why has this happened? @Leong – Juju

The error message suggests that you are using the x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc linker with the x86_64-pc-windows-gnu runtime. Which are you trying to use? Either way, my first guess would be that something is messed up with your rustup installation. – Schneider

@Coder-256: I have been using the x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc compiler/linker with the x86_64-pc-windows-gnu target without issues, I always assumed they were the right match. – Rouble

I think that your linker call is missing the -Lpath/libntdll.a option. Your other project maybe works because some dependent crate adds that option for you. Maybe you can look for that file and add an environment variable `set RUSTFLAGS="-Clink-arg=-Lpath". – Rouble

@Schneider Honestly no idea. I'd like to say windows one. How do I fix it? – Juju

Having the same issue. Seems to be a problem of reqwest crate. Downcrading to reqwest 0.10 worked for me. – Charlenecharleroi

@Schneider This is irrelevant. The official naming convention of MinGW-w64 convention is different to the one used by rustc (which comes from LLVM), but they denote the same platform. – Colo

Answer 1

This is a known bug which should have been by the resolution for another issue.

Just update by rustup update or by any package manager you installed the toolchain.

Colo

Answer 2

1. Find where MinGW is installed. I have mine in C:\msys64 as part of MSYS2 installation.

2. In the root of your Rust project create a .cargo folder.

3. Inside the .cargo folder, create a config.toml file with the following content (adjust for MinGW installation path in your system):

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
linker = "C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc.exe"
ar = "C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\ar.exe"

4. Now try cargo build or cargo run

It is not the exact answer to your problem but another way to cross-compile and a very simple one is using cargo-cross. Steps:

• cargo install cargo-cross
• install docker or any other container engine.
• Example commands:
  • cross build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  • cross run--target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
