Problems installing Inari library - rust

I am new to Rust, so this could be a stupid mistake, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
The problem
I tried to install Inari (a Rust implementation of interval arithmetic, https://crates.io/crates/inari). But when I try to compile the project, I get some errors:
Compiling inari v1.0.0
error: RUSTFLAGS='-Ctarget-cpu=haswell' or later is required. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/codegen-options/#target-cpu

| ^^^^^^ help: a function with a similar name exists: `add_rn`

The error says something about using Haswell, so I tried to add the following lines to Cargo.toml:
[build]
rustflags = ["-Ctarget-cpu=haswell"]
rustdocflags = ["-Ctarget-cpu=haswell"]
but it didn't change anything.
Steps to reproduce
Create a new project with cargo new project-name. Add inari as a dependancy cargo add inari. Run the project with cargo run.
Environment
cargo 1.62.1 (a748cf5a3 2022-06-08)
rustc 1.62.1 (e092d0b6b 2022-07-16)
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (in WSL)

You need to put that in .cargo/config.toml, not in Cargo.toml. Alternatively, set the environment variable RUSTFLAGS before running Cargo.
See Configuration - build.rustflags - The Cargo Book.

Why does cargo use a specific dependency version?

When trying to follow the instructions of the pathfinder library, i.e:
cd demo/native
cargo run --release
I get errors due to the compilation of the dependency winit version 0.19.3:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> /Users/yairchu/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/winit-0.19.3/src/platform/macos/view.rs:209:9

205 | extern fn has_marked_text(this: &Object, _sel: Sel) -> BOOL {
| ---- expected `bool` because of return type
...
209 | (marked_text.length() > 0) as i8
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `bool`, found `i8`
If I try changing the version used to the latest (which works fine for me) by changing Cargo.toml:
--- a/demo/native/Cargo.toml
+++ b/demo/native/Cargo.toml
## -43,7 +43,7 ## rev = "f3df871ac8c3926fe9106d86a3e51e20aa50d3cc"
[dependencies.winit]
-version = "<0.19.4" # 0.19.4 causes build errors https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/pull/1105
+version = "0.27.2"
I still get the same errors!
Interestingly, I notice this in cargo's output:
Compiling winit v0.19.3
Compiling winit v0.27.2
It appears to now be building both the version I specified and the old version.
I'm lost. Also using --verbose didn't help elucidate why cargo chooses to build this specific dependency.
Is it using two versions of the same library in one executable?
How can I find out why cargo chooses to build this library? (so that I can update it to the working version)
Thanks! Rust noob
How can I find out why cargo chooses to build this library?
cargo tree elaborates on whose dependency is each sub-dependency.
Is it using two versions of the same library in one executable?
It is.
You can depend on different versions of the the same crate. This can be useful if you want to use one version of the dependency, but one of your own dependencies uses another version.

Could not compile `lazy_static`

I'm having a hard time cross-compiling an embedded Rust project that worked before for a raspberry pi. I have all the needed deps in Cargo.toml but on doing:
$ cargo build --target thumbv7m-none-eabi
I get the following error.
error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`

Compilation used to work previously without lazy_static as a dependency in cargo.toml,now I don't understand why this is happening.
By default lazy_static depends on the rust standard library, which as the compiler told you
may not be supported on the thumbv7m-none-eabi target
If you do not need the standard library in your project you can enable the no-std feature of lazy_static like this:
lazy_static = { version = "1.5.0", features = ["spin_no_std"] }
as described here.

Error adding Custom RPCs for custom pallet Substrate

I've been working with parity's contracts node (latest version) and the substrate template node (tag polkadot-v0.9.18), both present the same issue when compiling.
I have a very simple pallet that stores certain items. The main structure is the following:
#[pallet::storage]
#[pallet::getter(fn items)]
/// 'Mapping' Item ID -> Item Data
pub(crate) type Items<T: Config> = StorageMap<_, Twox64Concat, T::Hash, Item<T>>;
I was trying to add a simple RPC method following this guides https://core.tetcoin.org/recipes/custom-rpc.html#rpc-to-call-a-runtime-api and https://core.tetcoin.org/recipes/runtime-api.html
I also checked some projects that already have custom RPC calls implementations, like de subsocial node and I have pretty much the same structure and dependencies.
My rpc method does nothing but return a number 2 just to make sure it works, but it doesn't. This is what the pallets directory looks like:
pallets directory
When I try to compile, the following error shows
error: the wasm32-unknown-unknown target is not supported by default, you may need to
enable the "js" feature. For more information see:
https://docs.rs/getrandom/#webassembly-support
I don't even use that module, but I've read that it is used somewhere as an indirect dependency.
I'm compiling my project with the following command
cargo build --release
Checking the documentation regarding the 'getrandom' crate issue, I added the following dependency in the Cargo.toml (I tried adding it in every Cargo.toml within the project, individually, by pairs, ...)
getrandom = { version = "0.2", features = ["js"] }
Then another error shows up:
error: failed to run custom build command for secp256k1-sys v0.4.1
Which again, doesn't make any sense to me.
The project itself has nothing but the node template base and a new pallet that implements a create and transfer function. Without the RPC implementation, it works perfectly using the Polkadot App, but as soon as I include the custom rpc, it just doesn't compile.
This is my rust configuration (rustup show)

Current status (to reproduce error): https://github.com/andresvsm/substrate-pallet-rpc/tree/items-branch
Sometimes, you can get this error from a deep dependency of another dependency, e.g. when you really build for a wasm32-unknown-unknown target, and getrandom is linked but even not used. It can be fixed (worked around) with the following trick:
In Cargo.toml, add this line:
[dependencies]
getrandom = {version = "0.2", default-features = false, features = ["custom"]}
It tells the compiler to use a dummy implementation inside of getrandom.
Fixed for me when I added "default features = 'false'" into my Cargo.toml under the dependency in question.

Change nightly Rust version?

I tried to build rls by the command cargo +nightly build --release -Z unstable-options, but got the following errors:
error[E0599]: no method named `expect_none` found for enum `Option<Fingerprint>` in the current scope
--> /Users/cjw/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/rustc-ap-rustc_span-705.0.0/src/lib.rs:2003:48
|
2003 | cache[index].replace(sub_hash).expect_none("Cache slot was filled");
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ method not found in `Option<Fingerprint>`
After searching it, I found that expect_none is a nightly feature and seemingly has been removed.
So I think maybe I should change the rust compiler version to fix the compilation problem. If this is the correct solution, how could I do it? Can anyone provide some detail suggestions?
Using rustup you can manage different nightly versions. See The Edition Guide for more.
As Option::expect_none was removed on March 25th, we can get the nightly for March 24th in the following way:
rustup toolchain install nightly-2021-03-24 --force
Note: the --force option was used as the components rustfmt and clippy might be missing.
Switch to the newly downloaded toolchain:
rustup default nightly-2021-03-24
The following main.rs should now panic, as expected:
#![feature(option_expect_none)]
fn main() {
let value = Some(42);
value.expect_none("The answer");
}
If you're curious, you could try this with nightly-2021-03-26 and you'll find that it will give you the expected error, indicating it was indeed removed:
error[E0599]: no method named `expect_none` found for enum `Option<{integer}>` in the current scope
--> src/main.rs:5:11

5 | value.expect_none("Expected none!");
| ^^^^^^^^^^^ method not found in `Option<{integer}>`

Cannot compile the ring crate: file not found for module `montgomery`

The project was a new project with Cargo.toml modified to include a dependency to the most recent version (0.12.1) of the ring crate. The Cargo.toml is as follows:
[package]
name = "testring"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["John McCrae <john#mccr.ae>"]
[dependencies]
ring = "0.12.1"
The required file seems to actually exist:
$ ls C:\\Users\\jmccrae\\.cargo\\registry\\src\\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\\ring-0.12.1\\src\\arithmetic
arithmetic.rs montgomery.rs
The cargo version is cargo 0.25.0-nightly (930f9d949 2017-12-05) and it is running on MINGW.
Is there anything wrong with the compiler set-up?
This is an issue with Ring and Rust 1.24.0-nightly (2017-12-21). It also has an associated issue in the Rust repository.
To work around it, use an older version of Rust nightly (or avoid nightly if you can).
