Note that while this -crate is called "gcc", it actually calls out to the most relevant compile for -a platform, for example using `cl` on MSVC. That is, this crate does indeed work -on MSVC! - -## Using gcc-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 -[package] -# ... -build = "build.rs" - -[build-dependencies] -gcc = "0.3" -``` - -Next up, you'll want to write a build script like so: - -```rust,no_run -// build.rs - -extern crate gcc; - -fn main() { - gcc::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 "gcc". 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. `_` - for example, `CC_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` -2. `_` - for example, `CC_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu` -3. `_` - for example, `HOST_CC` or `TARGET_CFLAGS` -4. `` - a plain `CC`, `AR` as above. - -If none of these variables exist, gcc-rs uses built-in defaults - -In addition to the the above optional environment variables, `gcc-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 - -Currently gcc-rs supports parallel compilation (think `make -jN`) but this -feature is turned off by default.

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 gcc/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 `gcc` 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. - -[msys2-help]: http://github.com/rust-lang/rust#building-on-windows - -## C++ support - -`gcc-rs` supports C++ libraries compilation by using the `cpp` method on -`Build`: - -```rust,no_run -extern crate gcc; - -fn main() { - gcc::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. - -## License - -`gcc-rs` is primarily distributed under the terms of both the MIT license and -the Apache License (Version 2.0), with portions covered by various BSD-like -licenses. - -See LICENSE-APACHE, and LICENSE-MIT for details. -- cgit v1.2.1
