[FAQ] What to do if I get "failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v ...`" error? about nthim

[TheBinitGhimire]

Adding the following line under [dependencies] in the Cargo.toml file can simply resolve the issue:

openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }

But, this would make the NtHiM executable binary consume more memory due to OpenSSL being built into it. Therefore, I haven't included it inside the file.

You might be interested in adding this line into the file in case you are interested in modifying NtHiM to build something more interesting.

Thanks,

Hello @saikumar9121,

Would you mind letting me know about your system? Also, using what method are you trying to install NtHiM?

I just tried doing a fresh install on a clean, new Debian 10 instance on amd64 with only Rustup installed, and the installation was successful both through crates.io and manual building. So, I would love to know about the system where you were trying to install and faced this issue.

Thanks,
@TheBinitGhimire
