@bobfrankston/rust-builder

Shared build tooling for Rust/wry WebView projects. Handles cross-platform builds via native compilation, WSL, and remote Pi.

Usage

import { build, loadConfig } from "@bobfrankston/rust-builder";

const config = loadConfig("./build-config.json", "myapp", "./native", "./native/bin");
build(config);

Postinstall (for npm packages shipping binaries)

import { runPostinstall } from "@bobfrankston/rust-builder/postinstall";

runPostinstall({
    binaryName: "myapp",
    binDir: "./bin",
    binaries: {
        win32: "myapp.exe",
        darwin: "myapp",
        darwinArm64: "myapp-arm64",
        linux: "myapp-linux",
        linuxArm64: "myapp-linux-aarch64",
    },
});
