# cargo-xwin _formerly cargo-xwinbuild_ [![CI](https://github.com/rust-cross/cargo-xwin/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rust-cross/cargo-xwin/actions?query=workflow%3ACI) [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/cargo-xwin.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-xwin) [![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/cargo-xwin/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/cargo-xwin/) [![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/cargo-xwin.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/cargo-xwin) [![Docker Image](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/messense/cargo-xwin.svg?maxAge=2592000)](https://hub.docker.com/r/messense/cargo-xwin/) > 🚀 Help me to become a full-time open-source developer by [sponsoring me on GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/messense) Cross compile Cargo project to Windows msvc target with ease. **By using this software you are consented to accept the license at [https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2086102](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2086102)** ## Prerequisite 1. For pure Rust project, no prerequisites needed. 2. For C/C++ dependencies, install [clang](https://clang.llvm.org/) (On macOS run `brew install llvm` and you're good to go). 3. For assembly dependencies, install `llvm-tools-preview` component via `rustup component add llvm-tools-preview` or install [llvm](https://llvm.org). ## Installation ```bash cargo install --locked cargo-xwin ``` You can also install it using pip: ```bash pip install cargo-xwin ``` We also provide a [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/messense/cargo-xwin) which has wine pre-installed in addition to cargo-xwin and Rust, for example to build for x86_64 Windows: ```bash docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/io -w /io messense/cargo-xwin \ cargo xwin build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ``` ## Usage 1. Install Rust Windows msvc target via rustup, for example, `rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` 2. Run `cargo xwin build`, for example, `cargo xwin build --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` ### Run tests with wine With wine installed, you can run tests with the `cargo xwin test` command, for example, `cargo xwin test --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` ### Customization The Microsoft CRT and Windows SDK can be customized using the following environment variables or CLI options. | Environment Variable | CLI option | Description | | ------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `XWIN_ARCH` | `--xwin-arch` | The architectures to include, defaults to `x86_64,aarch64`, possible values: x86, x86_64, aarch, aarch64 | | `XWIN_VARIANT` | `--xwin-variant` | The variants to include, defaults to `desktop`, possible values: desktop, onecore, spectre | | `XWIN_VERSION` | `--xwin-version` | The version to retrieve, defaults to 16, can either be a major version of 15 or 16, or a `.` version | | `XWIN_CACHE_DIR` | `--xwin-cache-dir` | xwin cache directory to put CRT and SDK files | | `XWIN_INCLUDE_DEBUG_LIBS` | `--xwin-include-debug-libs` | Whether or not to include debug libs in installation (default false). | ### CMake Support Some Rust crates use the [cmake](https://github.com/alexcrichton/cmake-rs) crate to build C/C++ dependencies, cargo-xwin will generate a [CMake toolchain](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html) file automatically to make cross compilation work out of the box. **[ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) is required** to enable CMake support. ## License This work is released under the MIT license.
