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
:
[build-dependencies]
static_vcruntime = "2.0"
And in your build script:
ⓘ
fn main() {
static_vcruntime::metabuild();
}
That is all. Then when you build a release binary, the runtime will be statically linked:
cargo build --release
§Issues
If you have problems then you may need to clean the build directory before rebuilding:
cargo clean
If all else fails 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.
