Compilation error when running `cargo install --force --path .` for 5.6.* version

[gilbertguan2385]

facing compilation error when building from source and running cargo install --force --path . for 5.6.0 version.

OS: Windows 8.1 Rust: rustc 1.72.0 (stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu)

the error as below:

error: failed to compile `rustlings v5.6.0 (\xxx\path\to\rustlings)`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `\xxx\path\to\rustlings\target`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

In case someone outright asks "have you tried 5.5.1" - yes and it works first try. (I've the same problem as OP)

[gilbertguan2385]

checked that 5.6.1 has same compilation issue😞

I found that I needed to install gcc-multilib for the compilation to work with the latest version.

Found the answer on StackOverflow

Not sure if this helps anyone else but it resolved it for me.

Sorry for the late reply. I hope that the answer by @andrewkboyd was helpful. If not, please test the main branch again with the latest Rust version. If you still have problems, please reopen the issue and provide the whole error message.
