Error building alsa-sys and libudev-sys for Bevy

I am trying to get started with bevy, I have set up the environment as suggested by the bevy book including using the nightly tool chain. However, when I try to build bevy I get the messages:

error: failed to run custom build command for `alsa-sys v0.3.1`
error: failed to run custom build command for `libudev-sys v0.1.4`

my cargo.toml is:

[package]
name = "Bevy_1"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html
[profile.dev]
opt-level = 1

[profile.dev.package."*"]
opt-level = 3

[dependencies]
bevy = {version = "0.10", features = ["dynamic_linking"]}

and my rust-toolchain.toml is:

[toolchain]
channel = "nightly"

How can I solve this?

Solution

  • You will need to install the required dependencies for your linux distribution.

    This is also covered in the bevy book for all major (desktop) operating systems over here.
