Dinghy also provides a dinghy-helper crate to help with the writing of build scripts that performs cross-compilation, and more specifically:
- CommandExt: a std::process::Command extension that can:
- Setup pkg-config environment variables for a subprocess (
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, ... e.g. when running Automake./configure) - Setup toolchain environment variables for a subprocess (
TARGET_CC, ...) - A few other useful methods (e.g.
configure_prefix()to set the prefix to rust output dir when running Automake./configure)
- Setup pkg-config environment variables for a subprocess (
- BindGenBuilderExt: a bindgen::Builder extension to help writing C to rust bindings that supports cross compilation properly (see
new_bindgen_with_cross_compilation_support()).
This is still a WIP. Beware of possible breaking changes
