Build Status Documentation License

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.
