Conrod: Cannot run examples

[pedrohex]

@iMac conrod % cargo run --release --features "winit glium" --example all_winit_glium
error: --features is not allowed in the root of a virtual workspace
note: while this was previously accepted, it didn't actually do anything

Just remove the --features "winit glium" flag. As the note says, it didn't do anything.

Thanks for the issue! For better or worse, the examples have since been moved into the specific backends, and the features flag should no longer be required. To run the an example associated with one of the backends, you should be able to do so with something like:

cargo run --release -p conrod_<backend> --example <example_name>

E.g.

cargo run --release -p conrod_glium --example all_winit_glium

Also, I'd be more than happy to merge a PR that updates the guide for this!

Hi, I've tried to run the example: cargo run --release -p conrod_glium --example all_winit_glium
I'm getting:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-shape
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-render
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-xfixes
Any ideas what to do about it?
Thanks

Same problem, google got me here.
Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) solution
sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev

Should be fairly equivalent for other distros/package systems. You need the related development versions of the C libraries on the system. Only tried with conrod_glium for the all_winit_glium and text examples.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks.

This command runs the application for me
cargo run --example all_winit_glium

The now correctly-linked guide does not mention the --features flag, so I believe this can be closed.
