Fails to Build in Linux

[Wright4TheJob]

This may be a similar issue report to #192 or #87 but I hope more data is helpful for a more robust next update.

Operating System: Pop!_OS 22.04 (Ubuntu based)
Cargo 1.65.0
Rust 2021 Edition

I'm using a fairly minimal test program right now where Z3 and UUId are my only imports. Although I installed Z3 from my package manager I get compile errors from the system compiler (not Cargo) when I attempt to build my library either with a stock Z3 install or with the statically linked library. Both error messages are listed below. I hope one of these errors is simply a mis-configuration on my end.

With this in my Cargo.toml [dependencies]:
z3 = "0.11"
This happens:

error: failed to run custom build command for `z3-sys v0.7.1`

Caused by:

And with this in my Cargo.toml [dependencies]:

[hjfreyer]

Seeing the same issue. Did you find a workaround?

[Wright4TheJob]

I have not yet, no. Any luck for you?

[hermanventer]

I use this as my work-around in MIRAI: z3-sys = { version = "*", git="https://github.com/prove-rs/z3.rs.git", features = ["static-link-z3"], optional = true }

[hjfreyer]

That didn't work for me - same error, even after deleting Cargo.lock and rebuilding.

[hjfreyer]

Aha, it seems I was missing clang: apt install clang.

The error message could probably be clearer.

[Wright4TheJob]

Thank you @hjfreyer! The clang dependency was at the root of my issue, it can compile fine now for me.
