RUST on windows : getting LINK : fatal error LNK1181 error - windows

Question

I am a complete beginner (following this course actually) regarding Rust language and i was wondering if it was possible to create an app for Windows involving a mqtt client.
I created my project using cargo new testmqtt --bin,
my toml file is
[package]
name = "testmqtt"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Pierre"]
edition = "2018"
# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html
[dependencies]
mosquitto-client = "0.1.5"
Main.rs file is exactly the first one found here.
extern crate mosquitto_client as mosq;
use mosq::Mosquitto;
fn main() {
let m = Mosquitto::new("test");
m.will_set("test/will",b"finished!",0,false).expect("can't set will");
m.connect("localhost",1883).expect("can't connect");
let bonzo = m.subscribe("bonzo/#",0).expect("can't subscribe to bonzo");
let frodo = m.subscribe("frodo/#",0).expect("can't subscribe to frodo");
// not interested in any retained messages!
let mut mc = m.callbacks(());
mc.on_message(|_,msg| {
if ! msg.retained() {
if bonzo.matches(&msg) {
println!("bonzo {:?}",msg);
} else
if frodo.matches(&msg) {
println!("frodo {:?}",msg);
m.disconnect().unwrap();
}
}
});
m.loop_forever(200).expect("broken loop");
}
When doing cargo run, i do have an error saying more or less that i have to include mosquitto.lib file.

It is possible to do that, isn't ?
