 The build dependency `cc` might require a more recent version of the Rust compiler.
 To ensure compilation with Rust 1.22.0, pin its version in your `Cargo.lock`
-with `cargo update -p cc --precise 1.0.41`.
+with `cargo update -p cc --precise 1.0.41`. If you're using `secp256k1` in a library,
+to make sure it compiles in CI, you'll need to generate a lockfile first.
+Example for Travis CI:
+```yml

+  - if [ "$TRAVIS_RUST_VERSION" == "1.22.0" ]; then
+    cargo generate-lockfile --verbose && cargo update -p cc --precise "1.0.41" --verbose;
