Convenience Rust code that handles coordinate transformations, Jones matrices, etc.

Prerequisites

• A Rust compiler with a version >= 1.60.0

  $ rustc -V
  rustc 1.63.0 (4b91a6ea7 2022-08-08)

  https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

• ERFA

  • Ubuntu: liberfa-dev
  • Arch: AUR package erfa
  • The library dir can be specified manually with ERFA_LIB
  • If not specified, pkg-config is used to find the library.
  • Use --features=erfa-static to build the library automatically. Requires a C compiler and autoconf.

Optional prerequisites

If using the mwalib feature (true by default):

• cfitsio
  • Ubuntu: libcfitsio-dev
  • Arch: cfitsio
  • Library and include dirs can be specified manually with CFITSIO_LIB and CFITSIO_INC
  • If not specified, pkg-config is used to find the library.
  • Use --features=cfitsio-static to build the library automatically. Requires a C compiler and autoconf.

If using the cuda feature (false by default):

• CUDA
  • Ubuntu: Follow the instructions here
  • Arch: cuda
  • The library directory can be specified manually with CUDA_LIB
  • If not specified, CUDA_LIBRARY_PATH and the /opt/cuda and /usr/local/cuda directories are searched.
  • If CUDA is available, use --features=cuda-static to link it statically.

To link a system-provided static library, use e.g. ERFA_STATIC=1. To link all system-provided static libraries, use PKG_CONFIG_ALL_STATIC=1. To build all C libraries and link statically, use the all-static feature.
