+### Troubleshooting
+
+If the build command fails with undefined references errors even after taking care of environment
+variables, we recommend doing a `cargo clean` and re-running `cargo build` or `cargo test`.
+
+You can also use some environment variables mentioned in our [book][23], such as `AF_PRINT_ERRORS`
+to print more elaborate error messages to console.
