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).
- 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
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.
