bin2coff exists with code 1, executed with invalid path

When trying to add the mupdf crate to an empty project and building it on windows, I get the following error:

C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\platform\win32\bin2coff.targets(76,5): error MSB3721: The command "Release\bin2coff.exe "C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\resources\fonts\droid\DroidSansFallback.ttf" "x64\Release\libresources\DroidSansFallback_ttf.obj" _binary_DroidSansFallback_ttf x64" exited with code 1. [C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\platform\win32\libresources.vcxproj]

The mentioned directory for the font "C:\dev\Rust\mupdf-test\target\debug\build\mupdf-sys-61a5ef3cbd8e3793\out\build\resources\fonts\droid\DroidSansFallback.ttf" doesn't exists in the build directory.

I couldn't find something similar online, so I thought I might ask here.

I have same problem. When I put resouces/fonts on https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf in mupdf-rs-sys-0.4.2/src, I can compile mupdf-rs.

I found these fonts files are excluded in Cargo.toml of mupdf-rs.

[package]
edition = "2018"
name = "mupdf-sys"
version = "0.4.2"
authors = ["messense <messense@icloud.com>"]
links = "mupdf-wrapper"
exclude = [
    "mupdf/resources/cmaps/*",
    "mupdf/resources/icc/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/droid/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/han/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/noto/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/sil/*",
    "mupdf/resources/fonts/urw/input/*",

Unfortunately crates.io has a size limit, so we can't include all of the fonts.

For now, you can try to use git dependency instead.

Hey i have the same issues with the driod sans fallback.ttf - what was the work around in this case??

Those experiencing similar issue on Windows machines can try the following suggestion:
(Thanks to kusaanko for this solution, I just fixed the directory name and repository name)

1. execute

git clone https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf.git
cd mupdf
git checkout {hash}
cd resources/fonts

where {hash} is the hash of the c mupdf repository commit used in the mupdf-sys repository, e.g. the current mupdf-sys repository uses commit 31b25c5 from the c mupdf repository.

2. find the location of the mupdf-sys library codes downloaded by cargo on your machine, for me the location is D:\UserApps\rust\\.cargo\registry\src\rsproxy.cn-8f6827c7555bfaf8\mupdf -sys-0.4.4. The directory may looks much different for people who have not changed the registry settings like I did.
3. Copy all directories under resources/fonts in the c mupdf repository you downloaded in step 1 into the mupdf\resources\fonts directory of the mupdf-sys library codebase you found in step 2.
4. Go back to your own project and run cargo build to check whether the problem is solved.
