Window 10 report error about libvips-rust-bindings HOT 5 OPEN

I'm also getting this message while compiling on Windows 11. Any workaround?

Fixed this by cloning this repo and making these changes in the bindings.rs :

Then in my rust app I linked to my local clone of this dependency :

[dependencies]
libvips = {path ="C:/DEV/TESTING/libvips-rust-bindings"}

I also needed to make these changes in the build.rs for this to work on my windows 10 :

@augustocdias Maybe there is a way to get a proper fix for all of this in the crate ? I can do a PR if you point me to the right direction ? Or at least I can help put something in the docs for windows users ?

The problem is that the bindings generates the return and parameters types for those functions based on OS's raw types. I believe you're running on a 32 bits OS (or targeting it), right?

I'll have to research if is there a better way to generate this bindings in a way it can compile in any System.

Looks like all errors are caused by std::os::raw::c_ulong; type.
In the generated bindings.rs

pub type size_t = ::std::os::raw::c_ulong;
///...
pub type guint64 = ::std::os::raw::c_ulong;

And according to rust's doc

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/raw/type.c_ulong.html

This type will always be u32 or u64. Most notably, many Linux-based systems assume an u64, but Windows assumes u32. 

Is it better to use bindings::guint64 and bindings::size_t?

Yes. I guess that would solve the problem, but I didn't want to use OS types in the public API...
