A very simple tool to make shims out of an existing executable. Only works on Windows.
I use this to create wrapper executables so I can avoid adding things into
my %PATH%.
shm.exe <source> <target>
The syntax is loosely based on ln. You can use --help to learn more.
The project consists of two parts. shim produces a shim.exe. It cannot be
used on its own, but serves as a template. You need to put it somewhere.
shimmer produces shm.exe that is the actual entry point. It need to be
compiled with a compile-time environment variable SHIM_DIR that indicates
where to find the previously compiled shim.exe template. If not given,
shm.exe will look for shim.exe in the same directory it resides.
In-place debugging:
> set SHIM_DIR=
> cargo build % for debug; no need to specify SHIM_DIR; the default is good.
For actual use:
> set SHIM_DIR=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\shimmer
> cargo build --release
> copy target\release\shim.exe %SHIM_DIR%
