zim-sys

Work-in-progress experiment getting libzim bindings in Rust.

Compilation

Currently only supports unix-based machines which also support libzim.

• Windows support could be achieved by using vcpkg to find libzim on windows
• Only Ubuntu Linux has been tested

Installing dependencies

The build process requires clang and the original library libzim will be needed.

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libzim-dev clang

Building zim-sys

cargo build

This process uses my custom C++ wrapper in zim-bind.cc which catches exceptions and converts them to errors which can be accepted by rust.

Binding TODO list

Most of these are do to incompatible types that need to be converted.
