Linking for Windows

The windows-link crate provides the link macro that simplifies linking. The link macro is much the same as the one provided by windows-targets but uses raw-dylib and thus does not require import lib files.

Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.windows-link]
version = "0.2"

Use the link macro to define the external functions you wish to call:

windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn SetLastError(code: u32));
windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn GetLastError() -> u32);

unsafe {
    SetLastError(1234);
    assert_eq!(GetLastError(), 1234);
}
