dear-imguizmo-quat-sys

Low-level FFI bindings for ImGuIZMO.quat via the cimguizmo_quat C API. This crate pairs with dear-imgui-sys (cimgui C API) and exposes raw functions/types used by the high-level dear-imguizmo-quat crate.

Features

  • prebuilt: allow the build script to auto-download a release archive when available (or when IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_USE_PREBUILT=1).
  • build-from-source: force building native sources with cc even if a prebuilt could be linked.
  • freetype: passthrough to dear-imgui-sys/freetype to enable FreeType in the workspace.
  • package-bin: enable an internal bin/package helper to produce release artifacts.

Build Modes

This crate supports multiple ways to obtain the native dear_imguizmo_quat static library:

  • Source build (default)
    • Compiles the C wrapper and upstream sources with cc.
    • Inherits include paths and preprocessor defines from dear-imgui-sys.
  • System/prebuilt library
    • Links an existing static library from a directory you provide (see env vars below).
  • Docs.rs
    • Generates Rust bindings only; native code is not compiled.

Environment Variables

  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_LIB_DIR
    • Directory containing the prebuilt static library.
    • Expected names: dear_imguizmo_quat.lib (Windows/MSVC), libdear_imguizmo_quat.a (Unix).
  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_PREBUILT_URL
    • Direct URL to the prebuilt static library file, or to a .tar.gz package produced by our packager.
    • Downloaded to OUT_DIR/prebuilt/ and reused on subsequent builds.
  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_USE_PREBUILT
    • If set to 1 or the prebuilt feature is enabled, the build script may auto-download a release asset.
  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_SKIP_CC
    • If set, skips native C/C++ compilation. Typically used with one of the above.
  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_FORCE_BUILD
    • Force building from source even if a prebuilt could be used.
  • IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_PACKAGE_DIR, IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_CACHE_DIR
    • Overrides for local package discovery and cache locations.

The build script also consumes include paths and defines exported by dear-imgui-sys:

  • DEP_DEAR_IMGUI_IMGUI_INCLUDE_PATH, DEP_DEAR_IMGUI_CIMGUI_INCLUDE_PATH
  • DEP_DEAR_IMGUI_DEFINE_*

Examples

  • Default (source build):
cargo build -p dear-imguizmo-quat-sys -p dear-imguizmo-quat
  • System/prebuilt (Windows):
$env:IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_LIB_DIR = "C:\\prebuilt\\imguizmo_quat"
cargo build -p dear-imguizmo-quat-sys
  • System/prebuilt (Unix):
export IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_LIB_DIR=/opt/imguizmo_quat/lib
cargo build -p dear-imguizmo-quat-sys
  • Remote prebuilt download:
# Windows: URL must point to dear_imguizmo_quat.lib or a .tar.gz package
$env:IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_PREBUILT_URL = "https://example.com/dear_imguizmo_quat.lib"

# Unix: URL must point to libdear_imguizmo_quat.a or a .tar.gz package
export IMGUIZMO_QUAT_SYS_PREBUILT_URL=https://example.com/libdear_imguizmo_quat.a

cargo build -p dear-imguizmo-quat-sys

Notes

  • Linking to the base ImGui static library is provided by dear-imgui-sys; this crate does not duplicate cargo:rustc-link-lib for it.
  • MSVC (Windows) builds align CRT and exception flags with dear-imgui-sys.
  • docs.rs builds generate bindings only and export include paths for downstream crates.
  • Higher-level Rust APIs live in extensions/dear-imguizmo-quat/. See that crate and examples/imguizmo_quat_basic.rs for usage.
