As with most Rust packages, this needs a network connection to check the current versions of the required cargo crates, and to download them if they are not already present.
Install cbindgen by running the following commands:
cargo build --release
To test the results, issue: cargo test. Three tests in the final suite are known to fail.
Now, as the root
user:
install -Dm755 target/release/cbindgen /usr/bin/
