Secp256k1 dependency fails to build

I’m attempting to add secret-toolkit-permit to my contract but am unable to compile due to a dependency that requires C code compilation. I’ve documented it here: secp256k1 dependency fails to build · Issue #3 · TriviumNode/secret-contract-template · GitHub but then found this forum and see there’s some participation here (though the most recent seems to date to almost a year ago). is Secret actively maintained? the Discord channel is a desert, the github gets zero support. I’m starting to think I should abandon this effort

p.s. I did find an issue on github dating to over 2 years ago that complains of the same problem and remains open and unaddressed: Use a pure rust secp256k1 implementation · Issue #89 · scrtlabs/secret-toolkit · GitHub
