Corrosion

Corrosion, formerly known as cmake-cargo, is a tool for integrating Rust into an existing CMake project. Corrosion can automatically import executables, static libraries, and dynamic libraries from a workspace or package manifest (Cargo.toml file).

Features

• Automatic Import of Executable, Static, and Shared Libraries from Rust Crate
• Easy Installation of Rust Executables
• Trivially Link Rust Executables to C/C++ Libraries in Tree
• Multi-Config Generator Support
• Simple Cross-Compilation

Sample Usage with FetchContent

Using the CMake FetchContent module allows you to easily integrate corrosion into your build. Other methods including installing corrosion or adding it as a subdirectory are covered in the setup chapter of the corrosion documentation.

)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Corrosion)

# Import targets defined in a package or workspace manifest `Cargo.toml` file
corrosion_import_crate(MANIFEST_PATH rust-lib/Cargo.toml)

add_executable(your_cpp_bin main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(your_cpp_bin PUBLIC rust-lib)
