A plugin/crate was declared but cannot be found.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0463
#![feature(plugin)]
#![plugin(cookie_monster)] // error: can't find crate for `cookie_monster`
extern crate cake_is_a_lie; // error: can't find crate for `cake_is_a_lie`
```
You need to link your code to the relevant crate in order to be able to use it
(through Cargo or the `-L` option of rustc example). Plugins are crates as
well, and you link to them the same way.
## Common causes
- The crate is not present at all. If using Cargo, add it to `[dependencies]`
in Cargo.toml.
- The crate is present, but under a different name. If using Cargo, look for
`package = ` under `[dependencies]` in Cargo.toml.
## Common causes for missing `std` or `core`
- You are cross-compiling for a target which doesn't have `std` prepackaged.
Consider one of the following:
+ Adding a pre-compiled version of std with `rustup target add`
+ Building std from source with `cargo build -Z build-std`
+ Using `#![no_std]` at the crate root, so you won't need `std` in the first
place.
- You are developing the compiler itself and haven't built libstd from source.
You can usually build it with `x.py build library/std`. More information
about x.py is available in the [rustc-dev-guide].
