OldWin
OldWin OldWin makes compatibility with Old Windows easier! The crate relies heavily on YY-Thunks and VC-LTL5 to solve the problem of missing APIs on older systems and API-SETs in the import table.
Features
- Effortless Integration: Integrate YY-Thunks and VC-LTL5 just add entry to your
build-dependencies
and modifybuild.rs
. - Backward Compatibility: Effortlessly support Windows XP and later versions.
- Binary Size Optimization: Implement strategies to reduce the footprint of your application binaries.
Usage
1. Add Dependency
Include OldWin in your Cargo.toml
file:
vc-ltl5 is dependent on yy-thunks, so if you use vc-ltl5 yy-thunks will be automatically added.
[dependencies]
# use yy-thunks and vc-ltl5 on Windows 7
oldwin = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["win7", "vc-ltl5"] }
2. Switch to {i686, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain
Modify your project cargo configuration to use the {x86, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain.
rustup component add rust-src
rustup target add i686-win7-windows-msvc
rustup target add x86_64-win7-windows-msvc
[unstable]
build-std = ["core", "alloc", "std", "proc_macro", "test"]
3. Build Your Project
Build your project using the {i686, x86_64}-win7-windows-msvc toolchain.
Remember to use nightly toolchain.
cargo build --target i686-win7-windows-msvc -Zbuild-std
cargo build --target x86_64-win7-windows-msvc -Zbuild-std
