Sorry for overlooking this email until now. The issue here is that you need to either write: extern mod rustils = "github.com/smadhueagle/rustils"; instead of `extern mod rustils;`, in the code that uses it (and in this case you don't need the `rustpkg install` step), or set your RUST_PATH to: $TOP/rustlings/.rust/github.com/smadhueagle/rustils-0.1 where $TOP is the directory that contains the `rustlings` directory. I tested the latter option with rustpkg as built from 7ddcd2, and it worked. Feel free to ask again here if you have more questions (and I'll try to answer them sooner :-) Cheers, Tim -- Tim Chevalier * http://catamorphism.org/ * Often in error, never in doubt "Being queer is not about a right to privacy; it is about the freedom to be public, to just be who we are." -- anonymous, June 1990 _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
