Compile Cargo project with zig as linker

Project description

cargo-zigbuild

🚀 Help me to become a full-time open-source developer by sponsoring me on GitHub

Compile Cargo project with zig as linker for easier cross compiling.

Installation

cargo install cargo-zigbuild

You can also install it using pip which will also install ziglang automatically:

pip install cargo-zigbuild

We also provide a Docker image which has macOS SDK pre-installed in addition to cargo-zigbuild and Rust, for example to build for x86_64 macOS:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/io -w /io messense/cargo-zigbuild \
  cargo zigbuild --release --target x86_64-apple-darwin

Usage

Install zig following the official documentation, on macOS, Windows and Linux you can also install zig from PyPI via pip3 install ziglang
Install Rust target via rustup, for example, rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Run cargo zigbuild, for example, cargo zigbuild --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

Specify glibc version

cargo zigbuild supports passing glibc version in --target option, for example, to compile for glibc 2.17 with the aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu target:

cargo zigbuild --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.17

macOS universal2 target

cargo zigbuild supports a special universal2-apple-darwin target for building macOS universal2 binaries/libraries on Rust 1.64.0 and later.

rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin
cargo zigbuild --target universal2-apple-darwin

Note

Note that Cargo --message-format option doesn't work with universal2 target currently.

Caveats

Currently only Linux, macOS and Windows gnu targets are supported, other target platforms can be added if you can make it work, pull requests are welcome.
Only current Rust stable and nightly versions are regularly tested on CI, other versions may not work.

Known upstream zig issues:

zig cc: parse -target and -mcpu/-march/-mtune flags according to clang: Some Rust targets aren't recognized by zig cc, for example armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf, workaround by using -mcpu=generic and explicitly passing target features in #58
glibc 2.27 or older: fcntl64 not found, but zig's glibc headers refer it: workaround by using linker script in #14
ability to link against darwin frameworks (such as CoreFoundation) when cross compiling: Set the SDKROOT environment variable to a macOS SDK path to workaround it
zig misses some compiler_rt functions that may lead to undefined symbol error for certain targets. See also: zig compiler-rt status.
