### Note

An Internet connection is needed for building this package.

## Installation of cargo-c

First, download a file to ensure that cargo uses the dependency versions specified by the upstream developers when this cargo-c version (0.10.7) was released. Without this, the latest versions of the dependencies would be used and they might cause breakages:

    curl -LO https://github.com/lu-zero/cargo-c/releases/download/v0.10.7/Cargo.lock

### Note

Normally we would put such a download into an “Additional Downloads” section. But in this case we cannot tell the package name and version from the file name `Cargo.lock`, so it's better not to put the ambiguously-named file outside the `cargo-c-0.10.7` directory. We use curl here because the cURL-8.11.0 package should have been installed as a required dependency of rustc-1.83.0.

The md5sum of the file should be `cde6450efe78fb7713347b540a2e20a4`.

Install cargo-c by running the following commands:

    [ ! -e /usr/include/libssh2.h ] || export LIBSSH2_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1    &&
    [ ! -e /usr/include/sqlite3.h ] || export LIBSQLITE3_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG=1 &&

    cargo build --release

To test the results, issue: cargo test --release.

Now, as the `root` user:

    install -vm755 target/release/cargo-{capi,cbuild,cinstall,ctest} /usr/bin/
