Rust makes cross compilation child's play

• delta

  88 20,717 8.1 Rust

  A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

The problems start to arise when you want to compile for a different architecture, such as i686 (32 bit) or ARM processors. In this case, you have to install some dependencies and set some environment variables, which may be painful. For example, in the old continuous integrations scripts of delta,this was the way dependencies were installed. Ugly, I know. As rust developers we are used to great tools, so there must be a better way right?

• cargo

  4 626 0.0 TypeScript

  Discontinued 📦 GitHub Action for Rust `cargo` command (by actions-rs)

  

It turns out that this is like the easiest thing in the world! The action-rs/cargo action I was already using had built-in support for cross. Now I even felt more stupid, but anyway..you just need to set the use-cross variable to true and you are done!

• cross

  118 5,938 9.2 Rust

  “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates

  

Instead of doing cargo build --target you simply do cross build --target . Based on the target, in fact, cross will run a docker image that has all the right dependencies already installed and configured by the rust-embedded team itself. 😉 And that’s it..just run cargo install cross and you are ready to cross-compile for allthese targets in rust, no other dependency is required, except docker of course!

This is an example of the resulting Continuous Deployment step.
