build and install C-compatible libraries

Cargo C-ABI helpers

cargo applet to build and install C-ABI compatibile dynamic and static libraries.

It produces and installs a correct pkg-config file, a static library and a dynamic library, and a C header to be used by any C (and C-compatible) software.

Usage

# build the library, create the .h header, create the .pc file
$ cargo cbuild --destdir=${D} --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

# build the library, create the .h header, create the .pc file and install all of it
$ cargo cinstall --destdir=${D} --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

Status

• build targets
  • pkg-config generation
  • header generation (cbindgen integration)
• staticlib support
• cdylib support
• Extra Cargo.toml keys
• Better status reporting
