Unable to build dbus-rs for ARM

[leon-anavi]

Hi,

I am working on a Yocto/OE recipe for building RVI SOTA client which is written in the Rust programming language and depends on crate dbus-rs version 0.1.2. I noticed that the crate fails to build for ARM due to mismatched types. In my opinion c_char raw pointers should be cast correctly to make it work for ARM. I have already created a patch for version 0.1.2 as part of the Yocto/OE recipe. In my opinion similar patches have to be applied to the latest versions of files src/lib.rs and src/message.rs.

Best regards, Leon

Hi, I have just pushed a commit that I think should solve this issue. Could you test it reopen this bug in case it does not (and please submit the compilation error, too)? Thanks.

@diwic OK, thank you!

Side note: if there's a mismatch between libc::c_char and std::os::raw::c_char I believe that's a bug in the libc crate or your setup of the same. Nevertheless, it does not hurt to be consistent; so that's what I've changed.
