Windows install fails with defaults

[Fritzoid]

Hi,

cargo install --locked trunk (the standard way to install trunk) fails on windows when it has to build openssl. When reaading https://trunkrs.dev/guide/getting-started/installation.html#installing-a-release-from-cratesio it still says rustls is the default.

I found a thread out there that said you recently switched to openssl and the easy way to fix the problem was to force use of rustls like this: cargo install --locked --no-default-features --features update_check,rustls trunk, which I did and its now fine. But its a bit foolish/dangerous to have to do that.

This is just a headsup that the current state of trunk on windows is shady and you should either fix the docs on how to work with openssl on windows (which I couldnt really figure out) or revert to rustls.

Or maybe theres something ive completely missed :)

Keep up the good work
cheers

Might want to check out #911 (reply in thread). Afaik it should be fixable relatively easily but I don't use Windows nor do I have any way to set an installation up (not enough storage).

You can use the pre-built binary which is an option since Trunk is not a library. Even better you can use cargo binstall which is more practical in my opinion.
