Hello, as far as I can tell my problem is similiar to this one, but the problem in there doesn't really seem solved to me, more avoided. But I'm not sure it is actually a problem with my understanding of rust or with cross-compiling. If it's the latter, I will of course look somewhere else for a solution to my problem.
I tried writing a telegram bot with rust and this crate. The bot is done and now, since I have an old Raspberry Pi (Model B) lying around here, I wanted to deploy it there. So I looked into cross-compiling rust. I am on Windows and used Linux Mint in a vm to cross-compile. I'm not really a linux expert, so maybe the problem lays there? But cross-compiling from windows looked a lot more complicated when I looked at it.
First I added the target with rustup target add arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.
Then I followed step 9. from here:
but used the gcc-8 version. And I installed it.
This all works for a simple "Hello World!" project. (Building it with cargo build --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf)
But when I tried to built my telegram bot I got this error (might be a bit long, I don't know how to put it into a spoiler):
error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.59`
Caused by:

Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this `-sys` crate cannot
proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had
trouble finding it, you can set the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable for the
compilation process.
Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed.
For example, `libssl-dev` on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` on Fedora.
If you're in a situation where you think the directory *should* be found
automatically, please open a bug at https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl
and include information about your system as well as this message.
$HOST = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
$TARGET = arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
openssl-sys = 0.9.59
I mean I have libssl-dev installed for the host system, but probably not for my target system. And know I'm a little lost what I could do next. I tried building my project on the raspberry, and while all the dependencies get compiled my own project seems to fail.
This is my first time posting here, I hope the formatting is all right, and my english as well.
Thanks for reading until here!
