Build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
Could not compile `kernel32-sys`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

E:\rust-atomicwrites>

This happens when running cargo test on rust-atomicwrites, but it also happens when running cargo test on a git clone of winapi-rs. Same exact backtrace, on many modules like advapi-rs or kernel32-sys.

I don't get this issue in appveyor. I'm running Rust 1.4 (the 32-bit version) on Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) inside of VirtualBox.

Hm I can't seem to reproduce this locally either, did you perhaps specify some custom options when installing?

[untitaker]

Nope.

That Windows VM is pirated and hasn't recieved updates for two years though. The update process itself is broken, it always ends up reverting them. I wonder if it makes sense to even keep this issue open.

[alexcrichton]

If you can, using gdb to get a better backtrace may be useful to help pinpoint where this is coming from

[untitaker]

The VM recently trashed itself and can't be booted up anymore. I'm closing this for now.

Sorry for the low-quality bugreport.
