bin2coff exists with code 1, executed with invalid path

When trying to add the mupdf crate to an empty project and building it on windows, I get the following error:

C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\platform\win32\bin2coff.targets(76,5): error MSB3721: The command "Release\bin2coff.exe "C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\resources\fonts\droid\DroidSansFallback.ttf" "x64\Release\libresources\DroidSansFallback_ttf.obj" _binary_DroidSansFallback_ttf x64" exited with code 1. [C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\platform\win32\libresources.vcxproj]

The mentioned directory for the font "C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\resources\fonts\droid\DroidSansFallback.ttf" doesn't exists in the build directory.

I couldn't find something similar online, so I thought I might ask here.

I have same problem. When I put resouces/fonts on https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf in mupdf-rs-sys-0.4.2/src, I can compile mupdf-rs.

I found these fonts files are excluded in Cargo.toml of mupdf-rs.

[package]
edition = "2018"
name = "mupdf-sys"
version = "0.4.2"
authors = ["messense <[email protected]>"]
links = "mupdf-wrapper"
exclude = [
    "mupdf/resources/cmaps/*",
    "mupdf/resources/icc/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/droid/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/han/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/noto/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/sil/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/urw/input/*",

Unfortunately crates.io has a size limit, so we can't include all of the fonts.

For now, you can try to use git dependency instead.

Hey i have the same issues with the driod sans fallback.ttf - what was the work around in this case??

Those experiencing similar issue on Windows machines can try the following suggestion:
(Thanks to kusaanko for this solution, I just fixed the directory name and repository name)

1. execute

git clone https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf.git
cd mupdf
git checkout {hash}
cd resources/fonts

where {hash} is the hash of the c mupdf repository commit used in the mupdf-sys repository, e.g. the current mupdf-sys repository uses commit 31b25c5 from the c mupdf repository.

2. find the location of the mupdf-sys library codes downloaded by cargo on your machine, for me the location is D:\UserApps\rust\\.cargo\registry\src\rsproxy.cn-8f6827c7555bfaf8\mupdf -sys-0.4.4. The directory may looks much different for people who have not changed the registry settings like I did.
3. Copy all directories under resources/fonts in the c mupdf repository you downloaded in step 1 into the mupdf\resources\fonts directory of the mupdf-sys library codebase you found in step 2.
4. Go back to your own project and run cargo build to check whether the problem is solved.

Same problem when compile for --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

[SL-RU]

@messense what is the size limit, why is it impossible to include these fonts in package?

[SL-RU]

Ooh, there is other problem. Why building for target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc requires these font files but building for linux or etc does not? I think there is some problem with build defenitions for windows target, but I cannot see it. @messense maybe you can help with it?
