failing to compile on arch

[walksanatora]

hello there, i was trying to build a project and it said it couldn't find the openssl headers (which were at /usr/include/openssl)
so then i added OPENSSL_DIR=/usr/include/openssl right before my cargo build
but that failed stating thread 'main' panicked at 'OpenSSL library directory does not exist: /usr/include/openssl/lib', /home/walksanator/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/openssl-sys-0.9.53/build/main.rs:52:9 any help would be apprecieated

OPENSSL_DIR is supposed to point to a directory that has headers in $OPENSSL_DIR/include and libraries in $OPENSSL_DIR/lib. However, you should not need to set it typically. Do you have pkg-config installed?

[walksanatora]

i just installed it and re-tried to compile
Error { kind: ToolExecError, message: "Command \"cc\" \"-Os\" \"-ffunction-sections\" \"-fdata-sections\" \"-fPIC\" \"-m64\" \"-I\" \"/usr/include\" \"-Wall\" \"-Wextra\" \"-E\" \"build/expando.c\" with args \"cc\" did not execute successfully (status code exit status: 1)." }

What is the entire error?

  Failed to find OpenSSL development headers.

  You can try fixing this setting the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable
  pointing to your OpenSSL installation or installing OpenSSL headers package
  specific to your distribution:

      # On Ubuntu
      sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
      # On Arch Linux
      sudo pacman -S openssl
      # On Fedora
      sudo dnf install openssl-devel

openssl-sys v0.9.53 was released 3 years ago, and does not support your OpenSSL version. Run cargo update.

lets see if my project still compiles
after this update

build succeded
