Thank you for the freedback!
It looks like you have not installed libc development headers. Try to install libc-dev. This problem also may occurs if rustc is out of date.
If this willn't resolve the problem - please provide some information about your OS, rust and gcc version

[getreu]

libc-dev was installed:

Libc-dev: libc6-dev 2.19-18

OS: debian 8 jessie
gcc: gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10)

rustc: rustc 1.2.0 (082e47636 2015-08-03)

Best

I've looked better at the error. It is reporting about freetype lib. Maybe you are missing dev headers for it, or lib totally.
Please, try to install libfreetype6-dev

Thank you. This helped. The build finishes without error, but I get a
runtime error:

Now it should work, if it doesn't help you - let me know, please

[Vinatorul]

Please pass --oldOGL command line flag to run with OpenGL 1.2

[getreu]

It works with
./minesweepers --oldOGL
Thank you.
