I'm trying to build a backend api with an embedded database. I understand now this may be a little unorthodox, but this is my first attempt at building a website. The database I'm using requires the libclang library, and I have found no way in the past hour of searching to add an external library to the build process. Is this possible? or will I have to remake my api?
full error:
#12 20.86 --- stderr

You can try to install the nix libclang package.
Add this nixpacks.toml file to your project -
[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...', 'libclang']10 months ago
Unfortunately this did not work. I see libclang in the setup box now, but it still fails to build for the same reason

You can try installing it as an apt package instead -
[phases.setup]
aptPkgs = ['...', 'libclang-17-dev']If this still doesn't work you will need to move to a Dockerfile based build.

build still failed. i'm probably just going to split the database and backend apart using an existing template. thanks for your help none the less
