# OldWin **OldWin** OldWin makes compatibility with Old Windows easier! The crate relies heavily on [YY-Thunks](https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/YY-Thunks) and [VC-LTL5](https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/VC-LTL5) to solve the problem of missing APIs on older systems and API-SETs in the import table. ## Features - **Effortless Integration**: Integrate YY-Thunks and VC-LTL5 just add entry to your `build-dependencies` and modify `build.rs`. - **Backward Compatibility**: Effortlessly support Windows XP and later versions. - **Binary Size Optimization**: Implement strategies to reduce the footprint of your application binaries. ## Usage ### 1. Add Dependency Include OldWin in your `Cargo.toml` file: > vc-ltl5 is dependent on yy-thunks, so if you use vc-ltl5 yy-thunks will be automatically added. ```toml [dependencies] # use yy-thunks and vc-ltl5 on Windows 7 oldwin = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["win7", "vc-ltl5"] } ``` ### 2. Switch to {i686, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain Modify your project cargo configuration to use the {x86, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain. ```shell rustup component add rust-src rustup target add i686-win7-windows-msvc rustup target add x86_64-win7-windows-msvc ``` ```toml [unstable] build-std = ["core", "alloc", "std", "proc_macro", "test"] ``` ### 3. Build Your Project Build your project using the {i686, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain. > Remember to use nightly toolchain. ```shell cargo build --target i686-win7-windows-msvc -Zbuild-std cargo build --target x86_64-win7-windows-msvc -Zbuild-std ``` ## Contributing Contributions of all kinds are welcome, including: - Issue reporting - Pull Request submissions - Documentation improvements ## License OldWin is released under the [MIT License](LICENSE). ## Very Very Thanks - [YY-Thunks](https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/YY-Thunks) - [VC-LTL5](https://github.com/Chuyu-Team/VC-LTL5)
