error: no matching package named libnx-rs found

Hi!

Well, this repo seems to be unmaintained for a while now, but I'll still try my luck.

I tried building this example using the provided docker image (3rd method).

I get the following error:

Has anyone a clue where that might come from?

Thanks.

So the TLDR of it is that you should probably be using the stuff here.

The issue is that the entire libnx-rs and "rust on switch via libnx" project went through some iteration and movement from libnx-rs to nx-rs, a parallel project originally started as a fork by @XorTroll that eventually superseded libnx-rs, thanks to both they're large amount of effort and my own new circumstances no longer allowing me to risk a ban (or really have a lot of time to commit libnx-rs. I did make a couple of commits here or there to nx-rs, though, which due to how Github works had me overwrite my own ischeinkman/libnx-rs Github repo with the new nx-rs one.
Meanwhile, this crate and Docker image don't know about this, so they are still trying to pull the non-rewritten libnx-rs crate from my ischeinkman/libnx-rs repo, even though what really lives there is the nx-rscrate. If you are really, 100% sure that you want to use the pre-rewrite stuff, which I would not recommend at this point, the final pre-rewrite commit of libnx-rs is this.

Woaw. I don't know how I completely missed that group during my research for something similar.
Indeed this seems to be a good starting point for what I'm looking for, I'll give it a try.
Many thanks for your quick and accurate answer! 🙂
