Hi, thank you for making this crate. It's a pleasure to with this crate.

But unfortunately, I am unable to compile my program on windows when using the mdbx backend. I am getting the following error.
Also, when I compile with the default features i.e lmdb It compiles just fine.

error: could not compile `ky`

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
Error: The process 'C:\Rust\.cargo\bin\cargo.exe' failed with exit code 101

I am still new to rust. So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

libmdbx's README#Windows: ...do not forget to add ntdll.lib to linking.

numToStr commented

@erthink Thanks for the quick insight. But I am also failing to understand how to link ntdll.lib during compilation. Can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks.

libmdbx itself provides properly building for all supported platforms, both by Make and by CMake.
So to fix the problem, it is enough to use native build ways, that the library provides.

Please ask @Kerollmops to fix this issue inside https://github.com/Kerollmops/mdbx-rs.
In addition, a very outdated version of libmdbx is used there now, and I strongly recommend updating it.

Thanks, @erthink for the explanation. Also created vorot93/libmdbx-rs#1.
