The build script has started to fail in CI

[JSorngard]

Hello!

I am using functionality that depends on this crate in CI, and its build script has started to fail, see all failing jobs here: https://github.com/JSorngard/lambert_w/actions/runs/12693506526. As far as I can tell CI doesn't have the fontconfig library or the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set anymore?
Might be related to the upgrade of ubuntu-latest: actions/runner-images#10636.

I moved my CI jobs to windows-latest, which resolved the issue for me: https://github.com/JSorngard/lambert_w/actions/runs/12693799372m
So it's only on ubuntu-latest the problem exists (where this crate is used).

Hi, not sure this is something we can address in this repo. As the README notes, this crate "Requires Fontconfig to be installed". On Ubuntu the libfontconfig1-dev package must be installed.

Makes sense, I'll just see about using an earlier Ubuntu image.
Thank you for your time!

You can use the newer one, you will need to install the libfontconfig1-dev package as part of your workflow though, like we do in our CI:

fontconfig-rs/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 23 in 254fd29

- run: sudo apt-get -y install libfontconfig1-dev jq

Ooh, good point, thank you!
