Rust Cross-compile

Docker container for cross compiling rust gtk apps to Windows from Linux.

By default will package all required DLLs into a package.zip.

Typical usage:

1. Create a container with the source mounted the image (which starts the build):

   docker create -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src --name PROJECTNAME-build rust-crosscompile:latest
   

   If you'd like to use the included windows 10 theme create the container like this:

   docker create -e WIN_THEME=true -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src --name PROJECTNAME-build rust-crosscompile:latest
   

2. Each time you want to build the project, start the Docker container.

   docker start -ai PROJECTNAME-build
   

If there are dependencies you need that are not included in the official image:

1. Modify the Dockerfile to add all your native dependencies

2. Building the image:

   docker build . -t PROJECTNAME-build-image
   

3. Create a container with the source mounted the image (which kicks off the build):

   docker create -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src --name PROJECTNAME-build PROJECTNAME-build-image
   

4. Each time you want to build the project, start the Docker container.

   docker start -ai PROJECTNAME-build
