error: could not open 'kernel32.lib': No such file or directory

[HKalbasi]

Hi, thanks for this project. I followed your blog post instruction but failed with this error. I'm very newbie with build systems so this is probably a trivial problem.

The output of cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc is here:

My guess is that these paths "kernel32.lib" "advapi32.lib" "userenv.lib" "kernel32.lib" "ws2_32.lib" "bcrypt.lib" "msvcrt.lib" should be absolute. I have these file in my disk on /xwin/sdk/lib/um/x86_64.

I tried to carefully follow your blog post, but I'm not in a docker image. I can provide additional information if needed.

You need to tell the linker where to find the libraries to link, for example

xwin/xwin.dockerfile
