can't find crate for glutin_window

[ctaggart]

I got Visual Rust build #80 from AppVeyor, Rust 1.1, and Visual Studio 2015 installed. I created a fork of rocket and added the a .rsproj file and .sln.

Unfortunately, I'm getting this error and I don't understand why. cargo build works just fine.

I have no idea about this 😉 ... Never used VisualRust

Currently there is no cargo support in VisualRust yet (see #3). When you try to build, it will just call rustc, which doesn't know abou the dependencies. Until cargo integration is implemented, you can have a look at this page, the section "Using VS External Tools" describes how to manually set up VS to invoke cargo.

I found you can build the library separately and get the .rlib in the target/debug and all .rlib files in target/debug/deps and copy them to "C:\Program Files\Rust stable 1.1\bin\rustlib\i686-pc-windows-gnu\lib". It's ugly but works!

(I also tried adding AdditionalLibPaths="$(ProjectDir)" to the Rust.target file in MSBuild/VisualRust. If it worked, the rlibs could go in the project directory making things a bit cleaner. But it doens't work for some reason...)

Finally I created VisualRust.Build.Cargo.dll and VisualRust.Build.Cargo.target. It's simple works fine.
