[Slackbuilds-users] libheif / cargo-c compiling problem

[Jim]

In case anyone else runs into this issue, here is a work-around.

On a whim, rather than running
        sboupgrade libheif
which starts by compiling cargo-c, I did
        sboupgrade cargo-c
by itself, and in this case it successfully compiled and built the package.
After that I ran 'sboupgrade libheif' and it worked as expected.

So now I wonder whether people who successfully upgraded to the latest
libheif already had cargo-c installed for some other reason, and thus
didn't need to compile it as a dependency of libheif.

I also wonder why sboupgrade does something different when building cargo-c
directly, as opposed to building it as a dependency of libheif.

                                    Jim
