+# cc-rs
+
+A library to compile C/C++/assembly into a Rust library/application.
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alexcrichton/cc-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alexcrichton/cc-rs)
+[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/onu270iw98h81nwv?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/alexcrichton/cc-rs)
+
+[Documentation](https://docs.rs/cc)
+
+A simple library meant to be used as a build dependency with Cargo packages in
+order to build a set of C/C++ files into a static archive. This crate calls out
+to the most relevant compiler for a platform, for example using `cl` on MSVC.
+
+> **Note**: this crate was recently renamed from the `gcc` crate, so if you're
+> looking for the `gcc` crate you're in the right spot!
+
+## Using cc-rs
+
+First, you'll want to both add a build script for your crate (`build.rs`) and
+also add this crate to your `Cargo.toml` via:
+
+```toml
+[build-dependencies]
+cc = "1.0"
+```
+
+Next up, you'll want to write a build script like so:
+
+```rust,no_run
+// build.rs
+
+extern crate cc;
+
+fn main() {
+ cc::Build::new()
+ .file("foo.c")
+ .file("bar.c")
+ .compile("foo");
+}
+```
+
+And that's it! Running `cargo build` should take care of the rest and your Rust
+application will now have the C files `foo.c` and `bar.c` compiled into a file
+named libfoo.a. You can call the functions in Rust by declaring functions in
+your Rust code like so:
+
+```
+extern {
+ fn foo_function();
+ fn bar_function();
+}
+
+pub fn call() {
+ unsafe {
+ foo_function();
+ bar_function();
+ }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ // ...
+}
+```
+
+## External configuration via environment variables
+
+To control the programs and flags used for building, the builder can set a
+number of different environment variables.
+
+* `CFLAGS` - a series of space separated flags passed to compilers. Note that
+ individual flags cannot currently contain spaces, so doing
+ something like: "-L=foo\ bar" is not possible.
+* `CC` - the actual C compiler used. Note that this is used as an exact
+ executable name, so (for example) no extra flags can be passed inside
+ this variable, and the builder must ensure that there aren't any
+ trailing spaces. This compiler must understand the `-c` flag. For
+ certain `TARGET`s, it also is assumed to know about other flags (most
+ common is `-fPIC`).
+* `AR` - the `ar` (archiver) executable to use to build the static library.
+
+Each of these variables can also be supplied with certain prefixes and suffixes,
+in the following prioritized order:
+
+1. `<var>_<target>` - for example, `CC_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+2. `<var>_<target_with_underscores>` - for example, `CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu`
+3. `<build-kind>_<var>` - for example, `HOST_CC` or `TARGET_CFLAGS`
+4. `<var>` - a plain `CC`, `AR` as above.
+
+If none of these variables exist, cc-rs uses built-in defaults
+
+In addition to the the above optional environment variables, `cc-rs` has some
+functions with hard requirements on some variables supplied by [cargo's
+build-script driver][cargo] that it has the `TARGET`, `OUT_DIR`, `OPT_LEVEL`,
+and `HOST` variables.
+
+[cargo]: http://doc.crates.io/build-script.html#inputs-to-the-build-script
+
+## Optional features
+
+### Parallel
+
+Currently cc-rs supports parallel compilation (think `make -jN`) but this
+feature is turned off by default. To enable cc-rs to compile C/C++ in parallel,
+you can change your dependency to:
+
+```toml
+[build-dependencies]
+cc = { version = "1.0", features = ["parallel"] }
+```
+
+By default cc-rs will limit parallelism to `$NUM_JOBS`, or if not present it
+will limit it to the number of cpus on the machine. If you are using cargo,
+use `-jN` option of `build`, `test` and `run` commands as `$NUM_JOBS`
+is supplied by cargo.
+
+## Compile-time Requirements
+
+To work properly this crate needs access to a C compiler when the build script
+is being run. This crate does not ship a C compiler with it. The compiler
+required varies per platform, but there are three broad categories:
+
+* Unix platforms require `cc` to be the C compiler. This can be found by
+ installing cc/clang on Linux distributions and Xcode on OSX, for example.
+* Windows platforms targeting MSVC (e.g. your target triple ends in `-msvc`)
+ require `cl.exe` to be available and in `PATH`. This is typically found in
+ standard Visual Studio installations and the `PATH` can be set up by running
+ the appropriate developer tools shell.
+* Windows platforms targeting MinGW (e.g. your target triple ends in `-gnu`)
+ require `cc` to be available in `PATH`. We recommend the
+ [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.org) distribution, which is using the
+ [Win-builds](http://win-builds.org) installation system.
+ You may also acquire it via
+ [MSYS2](http://msys2.github.io), as explained [here][msys2-help]. Make sure
+ to install the appropriate architecture corresponding to your installation of
+ rustc. GCC from older [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org) project is compatible
+ only with 32-bit rust compiler.

+
+## C++ support
+
+`cc-rs` supports C++ libraries compilation by using the `cpp` method on
+`Build`:
+
+```rust,no_run
+extern crate cc;
+
+fn main() {
+ cc::Build::new()
+ .cpp(true) // Switch to C++ library compilation.
+ .file("foo.cpp")
+ .compile("libfoo.a");
+}
+```
+
+When using C++ library compilation switch, the `CXX` and `CXXFLAGS` env
+variables are used instead of `CC` and `CFLAGS` and the C++ standard library is
+linked to the crate target.
+
+## CUDA C++ support
+
+`cc-rs` also supports compiling CUDA C++ libraries by using the `cuda` method
+on `Build` (currently for GNU/Clang toolchains only):
+
+```rust,no_run
+extern crate cc;
+
+fn main() {
+ cc::Build::new()
+ // Switch to CUDA C++ library compilation using NVCC.
+ .cuda(true)
+ // Generate code for Maxwell (GTX 970, 980, 980 Ti, Titan X).
+ .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_52,code=sm_52")
+ // Generate code for Maxwell (Jetson TX1).
+ .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_53,code=sm_53")
+ // Generate code for Pascal (GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, Titan Xp).
+ .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_61,code=sm_61")
+ // Generate code for Pascal (Tesla P100).
+ .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_60,code=sm_60")
+ // Generate code for Pascal (Jetson TX2).
+ .flag("-gencode").flag("arch=compute_62,code=sm_62")
+ .file("bar.cu")
+ .compile("libbar.a");
+}
+```
