Build script fails

I've installed the latest nightly rust and julia, defined JL_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as suggested, and installed llvm and clang, which seemed to be required, but the build of jl-sys is still failing:

   Compiling jl-sys v0.3.1
error: Only `-l` and `-L` flags are allowed in build script of `jl-sys v0.3.1`: `-L/home/me/julia/lib/`

Any idea what's wrong?

That's odd, it seems to be complaining about a valid flag that is (and must be) used. What OS are you using, and how have you set those environment variables?

Arch Linux on Skylake Xeon. I ran the build with

JL_PATH=/home/me/julia LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/me/julia/lib cargo build --release

I didn't look at the build script too closely but the error is confusing to me as well. The environment variables seem to be picked up properly.

Yeah, that should be fine. Could you try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/me/julia/lib? (I assume you've removed the version number from the extracted directory).

Sorry for the noise. It turns out that I actually still had an old rust nightly installed. After upgrading, it builds and works properly. :)

Ah, that's good to hear :) if you run into any problems, don't hesitate to open a new issue.
