Cargo build on Windows failed

[madlyrust]

Hi Team,

I am trying to build SurrealDB in my local windows but it failed with below error.

thread 'main' panicked at 'Unable to find libclang: "couldn't find any valid shared libraries matching: ['clang.dll', 'libclang.dll'], set the LIBCLANG_PATH environment variable to a path where one of these files can be found (invalid: [])"',

Any help?

Thanks

Follow doc/BUILDING.md. also this might help.

Thank you, that helped a ton, and now I can compile it!

So the create will not work out of the box? That's sad. I was thinking about using it

@scarletquasar I think this might be old behaviour from 2022 as I always build out of the box when using Windows via a simple cargo run and no fiddling with env vars. Can you confirm that it works on your machine too?

It don't, unfortunately that's how I found it here

Okay I had the same problem.
I installed rust and wanted to do cargo install code2prompt.

Full guide with a lot of extra dependencies:
https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/blob/main/doc/BUILDING.md

For me just the following was required:

1. Install LLVM;
   1.5. IMPORTANT: Only LLVM-X.Y.Z-win64.exe are suitable. Some releases DON'T have them. XXX-woa64.exe is the ARM architecture;
2. Add C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin to the PATH it it was not added automatically;
3. Verify where libclang.dll or where clang.dll works (for me it was libclang.dll);
4. Everything works now.

Hope this helps someone
