deno crate fails to build on WSL (win10) ubuntu

[rvdende]

I'm running Windows 10 with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

I can cargo run my project fine (with other crates) but when I add deno = "0.30.1" to Cargo.toml [dependencies] and try a cargo run I get:

edit: Actually it seems it was deno_core = "0.30.1"

Solution

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev python

note
I asked on the gitter.im channel and @bartlomieju said it looks like a bug. Thanks for your response!

@rvdende See https://deno.land/std/manual.md#prerequisites

The issue is most likely that you're missing libglib2.0-dev. I'm also on WSL :)

[rvdende]

@nayeemrmn thanks for pointing out the dev requirements. Actually I did need to install:

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev python

It was actually python that was missing causing the issue!
closing issue.

[ry]

Maybe we should update the manual with this information?

[rvdende]

@ry I agree. Where would make the most sense? I hit this issue because I'm trying to build a plugin.. not develop on deno itself. That's why I missed the build from source tips on python and libglib2.0-dev.

It would be nice to have a section on how to make a deno module that loads a rust plugin and specifically on when you need the deno_core crate.

edit: Actually best would be to recommend to the user to install python and libglib2.0-dev when this error occurs. Is that possible?

[nayeemrmn]

Does Cargo not have a way of specifying system dependencies of a package? That's what needed. I don't think the manual should go into further detail about what's only needed for the CLI crate and what's needed for core.
