| # Add `bindgen` as a Build Dependency |
| |
| First we need to declare a build-time dependency on `bindgen` by adding it to |
| the `[build-dependencies]` section of our crate's `Cargo.toml` file. |
| |
| Please always use the latest version of `bindgen`, as it has the most fixes and |
| best compatibility. |
| You can always check the latest version at |
| [the bindgen page in crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/bindgen). |
| |
| ```toml |
| [build-dependencies] |
| bindgen = "0.71.0" |
| ``` |
| |
| > ⚠️ **Warning** |
| > |
| > `bindgen` needs to be added to the `[build-dependencies]` section, not the normal |
| > `[dependencies]` section. If you add it as a regular dependency, you will get |
| > errors like the following: `` error[E0463]: can't find crate for `bindgen` `` |
