What needs to be fixed?

I suggest adding a clarification under the section "Generating a new project" that there may be a dependency on cc linker. Under Ubuntu this would be installed with "sudo apt install build-essential". This issue is also discussed on Stack Overflow at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52445961/how-do-i-fix-the-rust-error-linker-cc-not-found-for-debian-on-windows-10
