Error building on windows.

[i1Fury]

I followed the BUILDING.md perfectly(i tested everything in the paths and all), yet ran into this error:

error: failed to run custom build command for `whisper-rs-sys v0.6.1 (C:\Users\Elliot\Desktop\clip_it_chat\whisper-rs\sys)`

I don't have Windows so can't really help. Quick internet search shows this: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/unable-to-find-libclang-the-libclang-issue/70746

Not sure if it helps, but might be worth a shot

It found libclang.dll just fine, its just panicking for some reason? libclang is in my msys2 bin folder which is in my path, same as gcc.

Also, if it helps, the Python version of Whisper installed through PiP works perfectly(although its much slower).

[tazz4843]

The Python version of whisper is completely unrelated. It shares zero code with whisper.cpp. See if you can build the upstream project: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

I got a similar error on Linux on a new system:

   Compiling whisper-rs-sys v0.6.1 (https://github.com/tazz4843/whisper-rs#3ca3a5de)

The fix was paru -S clang so I'm not sure what more to say.

Gonna go ahead and close this, PR that might've fixed was merged a while ago and 0.11 is released with it.
