well this says that dynamic loading is not supported, what happens if you use the static feature of bindgen?

EDIT: the runtime feature is enabled by default so you have to disable default features first. See https://docs.rs/crate/bindgen/0.60.1/features

A similar (but not exactly the same) issue happens here Rust-for-Linux/linux#934 and I suspect it is because the clang-sys version we use does not support clang 15.

We will update the clang-sys version and do a new release as soon as possible.

Hello, I have the same issue but I'm using the latest version of bindgen (tried a couple of older versions too) and clang 12 with alpine 3.15.8

@Karrq have you tried this?

@pvdrz I did, but then this is the error #2333

[Karrq]

I found the root cause: rust-lang/cargo#4423

I'm in a cross-compilation environment, thus RUSTFLAGS are ignored. The only sensible workaround (that I found for now) is using the host-config unstable feature

Helloo 👋🏼
I'm getting the same same issue as well while trying to build wl-screenrec
I'm on Alpine Linux 3.19, and trying to use libclang16

Exact error message: Unable to find libclang: "the `libclang` shared library at /usr/lib/llvm16/lib/libclang.so.16.0.6 could not be opened: Dynamic loading not supported"

How did you all work your way around this ?
