I’ve often joked that rustup with a little buildscript copy/paste to use the cc crate could be the fastest way to set up a C++ toolchain and project on lots of systems, but I also haven’t received much enthusiasm on the topic from people involved more with upstream.
I did that yesterday with a project: I took a Rust package that compiled a C project, then had the Rust project generate a C-compatible DLL that I could consume in dotnet.
It was so much easier (for me; I am bad at build systems) that I plan to do that for future projects.
