Crate static_vcruntime[−][src]
Statically link the VCRuntime when using the MSVC toolchain
By default, Rust requires programs to deploy vcruntime140.dll
(or equivalent) when redistributing binaries. This crate statically links
the library instead.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
static_vcruntime = "1.5"
And put the follwing in your main.rs
:
extern crate static_vcruntime;
That is all. Then when you build a release binary, the runtime will be statically linked:
cargo build --release
Issues
If this doesn’t work for you then you may need to clean the build directory before rebuilding:
cargo clean
If you are having problems then, in the same directory as your Cargo.toml,
create a folder called .cargo
. In that folder create the file
config.toml
and add the following:
[target.'cfg(all(windows, target_env = "msvc"))']
rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+crt-static"]
This makes it easier to override the defaults.
