Build Instructions

In order to build distinst on Ubuntu, you will need to follow these instructions:

# Install Rust
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

# Build in release mode
make

# Install
sudo make install

# Uninstall
sudo make uninstall

The following files will be generated:

• Library: target/release/libdistinst.so
• Header: target/include/distinst.h
• pkg-config: target/pkg-config/distinst.pc

These files will be placed in /usr/local when installed, and pkg-config --cflags distinst or pkg-config --libs distinst can then be used to find them.

In order to produce a source package, you must run the following commands:

# Install cargo-vendor
cargo install cargo-vendor

# Download vendored sources
make vendor
