I've made a library:
cargo new my_lib
and I want to use that library in a different program:
cargo new my_program --bin
extern crate my_lib;
fn main {
println!("Hello, World!");
}
what do I need to do to get this to work?
They aren't in the same project folder.
.
├── my_lib
└── my_program
Hopefully this makes sense.
I thought I'd be able to override the path as per the Cargo guide , but it states
You cannot use this feature to tell Cargo how to find local unpublished crates.
This is when using the latest stable version of Rust (1.3).
Add a dependency section to your executable's Cargo.toml and specify the path:
[dependencies.my_lib]
path = "../my_lib"
or the equivalent alternate TOML:
[dependencies]
my_lib = { path = "../my_lib" }
Check out the Cargo docs for specifying dependencies for more detail, like how to use a git repository instead of a local path.
I was looking for an equivalent to mvn install
. While this question is not quite a duplicate of my original question, anyone who stumbles across my original question and follows the link here will find a more complete answer.
The answer is "there is no equivalent to mvn install
because you have to hard-code the path in the Cargo.toml file which will probably be wrong on someone else's computer, but you can get pretty close."
The existing answer is a bit brief and I had to flail around for a bit longer to actually get things working, so here's more detail:
/usr/bin/cargo run --color=always --package re5 --bin re5
Compiling re5 v0.1.0 (file:///home/thoth/art/2019/radial-embroidery/re5)
error[E0432]: unresolved import `embroidery_stitcher`
--> re5/src/main.rs:5:5
|
5 | use embroidery_stitcher;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `embroidery_stitcher` in the root
rustc --explain E0432
includes this paragraph that echos Shepmaster's answer:
Or, if you tried to use a module from an external crate, you may have missed the
extern crate
declaration (which is usually placed in the crate root):extern crate core; // Required to use the `core` crate use core::any;
Switching from use
to extern crate
got me this:
/usr/bin/cargo run --color=always --package re5 --bin re5
Compiling embroidery_stitcher v0.1.0 (file:///home/thoth/art/2019/radial-embroidery/embroidery_stitcher)

= note: #[warn(dead_code)] on by default
Compiling re5 v0.1.0 (file:///home/thoth/art/2019/radial-embroidery/re5)

--> re5/src/main.rs:8:19
|
8 | let mut svg = embroidery_stitcher::svg_header(100,100);

I had to slap a pub
on the front of that function
pub fn svg_header(w: i32, h: i32) -> String
Now it works.
