| Found `staticlib` `..` instead of `rlib` or `dylib`. |
| |
| Consider the following two files: |
| |
| `a.rs` |
| ```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests) |
| #![crate_type = "staticlib"] |
| |
| fn foo() {} |
| ``` |
| |
| `main.rs` |
| ```ignore (cannot-link-with-other-tests) |
| extern crate a; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| a::foo(); |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| Crate `a` is compiled as a `staticlib`. A `staticlib` is a system-dependant |
| library only intended for linking with non-Rust applications (C programs). Note |
| that `staticlib`s include all upstream dependencies (`core`, `std`, other user |
| dependencies, etc) which makes them significantly larger than `dylib`s: |
| prefer `staticlib` for linking with C programs. Learn more about different |
| `crate_type`s in [this section of the Reference](../reference/linkage.html). |
| |
| This error can be fixed by: |
| * Using [Cargo](../cargo/index.html), the Rust package manager, automatically |
| fixing this issue. |
| * Recompiling the crate as a `rlib` or `dylib`; formats suitable for Rust |
| linking. |
