Add bindgen as a Build Dependency (original) (raw)

The bindgen User Guide

Add bindgen as a Build Dependency

First we need to declare a build-time dependency on bindgen by adding it to the [build-dependencies] section of our crate's Cargo.toml file.

Please always use the latest version of bindgen, as it has the most fixes and best compatibility. You can always check the latest version atthe bindgen page in crates.io.

[build-dependencies]
bindgen = "0.71.0"

⚠️ Warning

bindgen needs to be added to the [build-dependencies] section, not the normal[dependencies] section. If you add it as a regular dependency, you will get errors like the following: error[E0463]: can't find crate for `bindgen`
