audionimbus-sys
Rust bindings to the Steam Audio library.
This crate is not meant to be used directly; most users should use audionimbus, a safe wrapper built on top of audionimbus-sys.
Overview
audionimbus-sys exposes raw bindings to the Steam Audio C library.
It is inherently unsafe, as it interfaces with external C code; for a safe API, refer to audionimbus.
Version compatibility
audionimbus-sys mirrors the version of Steam Audio.
Installation
audionimbus-sys requires linking against the Steam Audio library during compilation.
To do so, download steamaudio_4.6.0.zip from the release page.
Locate the relevant library for your target platform (SDKROOT refers to the directory in which you extracted the zip file):
| Platform | Library Directory | Library To Link |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 32-bit | SDKROOT/lib/windows-x86 |
phonon.dll |
| Windows 64-bit | SDKROOT/lib/windows-x64 |
phonon.dll |
| Linux 32-bit | SDKROOT/lib/linux-x86 |
libphonon.so |
| Linux 64-bit | SDKROOT/lib/linux-x64 |
libphonon.so |
| macOS | SDKROOT/lib/osx |
libphonon.dylib |
| Android ARMv7 | SDKROOT/lib/android-armv7 |
libphonon.so |
| Android ARMv8/AArch64 | SDKROOT/lib/android-armv8 |
libphonon.so |
| Android x86 | SDKROOT/lib/android-x86 |
libphonon.so |
| Android x64 | SDKROOT/lib/android-x64 |
libphonon.so |
| iOS ARMv8/AArch64 | SDKROOT/lib/ios |
libphonon.a |
Ensure the library is placed in a location listed in the dynamic library search paths (e.g., /usr/local/lib).
