The compiler team's explanation
A link name was given with an empty name.
Erroneous code example:
#[link(name = "")] extern "C" {}
// error: `#[link(name = "")]` given with empty nameThe rust compiler cannot link to an external library if you don't give it its name. Example:
#[link(name = "some_lib")] extern "C" {} // ok!From rustc --explain E0454 (1.99.0), part of the Rust project, MIT or Apache-2.0. Official page.
