I am trying to build a Rust program on Windows 10 having a GUI. When trying to compile a Rust file with gtk dependency on Windows 10 I keep getting the following error messages.

warning: unused manifest key: target.i686-pc-windows-msvc.freetype

    Like it says in the error: is 'cmake' not installed? Commented Apr 28, 2021 at 12:05
  • Tried installing cmake using cargo install cmake command and getting the following error message Updating crates.io index error: specified package cmake v0.1.45 has no binaries Commented Apr 29, 2021 at 7:06

    cmake is not a Rust package but a generic build tool that is used to build Freetype (a C library on which GTK depends). Commented Apr 29, 2021 at 7:14
  • How to install cmake Commented Apr 29, 2021 at 10:35

    So you now have the dependencies installed and compiled. That last message is another issue, so please ask another question for it, after searching if one of the existing answers applies to your case. Commented May 5, 2021 at 8:37

@mydoghasworms Actually, I'm on Windows and it helped me: just used "winget install cmake" instead of apt and that's all.

The error is due to cmake not being present.

If you use APT as your package manager you can run the following command to install cmake (as that is what you are missing and is causing the error):

sudo apt install cmake

On Windows, if you have winget installed, you could use

winget install cmake

You might need to close and reopen your terminal after the installation finishes on Windows.
