Additional build-time package dependencies

[taylorthurlow]

I'm in need of libssl-dev for cross-compile targets like x86_64-linux, but I don't see any obvious way to include them in the build step.

For the openssl crate, you should be able to use the vendored feature. Let me know if that works.

In this case I have a dependency on jsonschema which, in order to support a particular part of the library, requires me to add a dependency on reqwest with the rustls-tls feature enabled, which requires the SSL libs.

I'm super green on Rust (I live in Ruby land, probably unsurprisingly) - but am I mistaken in thinking that required external package dependencies would be a common issue in this case?

I'm pretty sure rustls would not require the ssl libs at all, since it's a pure rust dependency... either way, if you add:

openssl = { version = "*", features = ["vendored"] }

that will make it so the ssl libs are always vendored for all deps.

Looking at the gem now, try native-tls-vendored as well

Also, you may be able to use rustls still, i think you would need to set default-features = false on reqwest (otherwise it will try to use openssl)

sorry for the spam

Feel free to take a look at the failed action run if you are interested in the build failure. 3 of the 6 build targets failed, I rolled back the dependency change and things were back to normal.

Regardless, though, I appreciate the suggestions, I will give them a try.
