Cross Compilation

The CLI version of SEGUL support cross-complication for target platform Linux, macOS, and Windows. This method allow us to create executable for target platform using a different operating system. For example, your system is running macOS and you want to create SEGUL executable for Linux. The cross-compilation can be done using the cargo-zigbuild crate.

Installation

Install the cargo-zigbuild tool using pip that will also install zig compiler:

pip install cargo-zigbuild

Cross-compiling SEGUL

Example below shows how to cross-compile SEGUL for the Linux GNU target on macOS/Windows:

rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu

Build using zigbuild:

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