  • Rust on the RP2350

    The OpenWRT SDK is quite polished and convenient to use, so I usually use that for custom OpenWRT binaries. But a few days ago I needed to run something custom on my old QNAP NAS (Marvell ARMv5TE based), and I decided to try cross-rs[1] for the first time.

    It turned the usual multi-hour expedition of locating and configuring SDKs, toolchains, etc into 3 commands and 5 minutes of downloads and compilation. The resulting executable ran successfully at the first try. I was amazed.

  • My First Publish to crates.io (and cross compilation)
    4 projects | dev.to | 28 Nov 2024
    Some quick research led to cross, which automatically sets up container environments for cross compilation.
  • Is statically compiling against glibc possible?
    1 project | /r/rust | 16 Nov 2023
    To compile a program with musl on a glibc system you can use cross-rs!
  • How to cross Compile on Debian for: Mac / FreeBSD / OpenBSD / Android ... ?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 11 Jul 2023
    I cross compile to Mac, bsd, windows, etc cross ... Works great for me with either docker or podman.
  • Compiling against specific version glibc
    1 project | /r/rust | 22 Jun 2023
    If docker is available for you, https://github.com/cross-rs/cross is another and reliable way to solve this kind of problem. I do use it regularly.

  • A guide to cross-compilation in Rust
    2 projects | dev.to | 1 Jun 2023
    There is some built-in support in rustc for cross-compiling, but getting the build to actually work can be tricky due to the need for an appropriate linker. Instead, we’re going to use the Cross crate, which used to be maintained by the Rust Embedded Working Group Tools group.
  • Is there a definitive guide on cross-compiling with OpenSSL?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 26 May 2023
    I have used cross before to cross compile from Linux to other Linux. It has a section on it's wiki about this. Maybe that could be of help.
  • Docker ARMv7 Alpine Rust builder
    5 projects | /r/rust | 7 May 2023
    You can use cross to build your application and copy the artifacts into an alpine armv7 container. It would also build faster due to using cross compilation rather than QEMU.
  • Compiling Linux to Mac in CI/CD
    4 projects | /r/rust | 5 May 2023
    Looks like cross is the easiest way to get something cross-compiled but its Mac support is blocked behind building your own build image. Even that repo says that it might be broken.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing opencv-rust and cross you can also consider the following projects:

imageproc (PistonDevelopers) - Image processing operations

steg86 - Hiding messages in x86 programs using semantic duals

image - Encoding and decoding images in Rust

dockcross - Cross compiling toolchains in Docker images

imageproc - An advanced image processing library for Rust.

cargo-generate - cargo, make me a project
