Error Log

error: failed to run custom build command for `yeslogic-fontconfig-sys v5.0.0`
note: To improve backtraces for build dependencies, set the CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_BUILD_OVERRIDE_DEBUG=true environment variable to enable debug information generation.

How to fix it
Refer to this: Font Kit on crates.io
Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo apt install pkg-config libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev

Why
plotters depends on font-kit.
font-kit requires the following libraries to be installed on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install pkg-config libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev

Ah interesting. I think we only use plotters for some of the benchmarking which we might just want to turn off by default.

This only effects building helios on WSL not running a pre-built binary correct?

[hsyodyssey]

correct

Yes, I don't have this problem on my M2 Mac.

Thank you!
Had similar problem on Debian 12 with Rust's plotters...
This - sudo apt install pkg-config libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev - helped.
