Announcing cargo-xwinbuild: Cross compile Cargo project to Windows msvc target with ease

• zig

  816 30,773 10.0 Zig

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

Recently I created the cargo-zigbuild project which uses zig as the linker for easier cross compiling. It works well for Linux and macOS targets, but for Windows zig doesn't have a good story for msvc targets right now, so it's limited to Windows gnu targets.

• xwin

  5 327 7.4 Rust

  A utility for downloading and packaging the Microsoft CRT headers and libraries, and Windows SDK headers and libraries needed for compiling and linking programs targeting Windows.

This situation bugs me a lot, and I remembered a blog post about the xwin which makes cross compiling Windows binaries from Linux quite easy, but it requires a lot of manual setup. While using Docker containers make it easier, it's also slower.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

So I thought I can try to make another Cargo subcommand which integrates xwin and automates the boring stuffs for you, here comes cargo-xwinbuild: https://github.com/messense/cargo-xwinbuild
