pkgs.buildRustCrate

The following is the current implementation of this function.

crate_: lib.makeOverridable
  (
    # The rust compiler to use.
    #
    # Default: pkgs.rustc
    { rust ? rustc
      # The cargo package to use for getting some metadata.
      #
      # Default: pkgs.cargo
    , cargo ? cargo
      # Whether to build a release version (`true`) or a debug
      # version (`false`). Debug versions are faster to build
      # but might be much slower at runtime.
    , release
      # Whether to print rustc invocations etc.
      #
      # Example: false
      # Default: true
    , verbose
      # A list of rust/cargo features to enable while building the crate.
      # Example: [ "std" "async" ]
    , features
      # Additional native build inputs for building this crate.
    , nativeBuildInputs
      # Additional build inputs for building this crate.
      #
      # Example: [ pkgs.openssl ]
    , buildInputs
      # Allows to override the parameters to buildRustCrate
      # for any rust dependency in the transitive build tree.
      #
      # Default: pkgs.defaultCrateOverrides
      #
      # Example:
      #
      # pkgs.defaultCrateOverrides // {
      #   hello = attrs: { buildInputs = [ openssl ]; };
      # }
    , crateOverrides
      # Rust library dependencies, i.e. other libraries that were built
      # with buildRustCrate.
    , dependencies
      # Rust build dependencies, i.e. other libraries that were built
      # with buildRustCrate and are used by a build script.
    , buildDependencies
      # Specify the "extern" name of a library if it differs from the library target.
      # See above for an extended explanation.
      #
      # Default: no renames.
      #
      # Example:
      #
      # `crateRenames` supports two formats.
      #
      # The simple version is an attrset that maps the
      # `crateName`s of the dependencies to their alternative
      # names.
      #
      # ```nix
      # {
      #   my_crate_name = "my_alternative_name";
      #   # ...
      # }
      # ```
      #
      # The extended version is also keyed by the `crateName`s but allows
      # different names for different crate versions:
      #
      # ```nix
      # {
      #   my_crate_name = [
      #       { version = "1.2.3"; rename = "my_alternative_name01"; }
      #       { version = "3.2.3"; rename = "my_alternative_name03"; }
      #   ]
      #   # ...
      # }
      # ```
      #
      # This roughly corresponds to the following snippet in Cargo.toml:
      #
      # ```toml
      # [dependencies]
      # my_alternative_name01 = { package = "my_crate_name", version = "0.1" }
      # my_alternative_name03 = { package = "my_crate_name", version = "0.3" }
      # ```
      #
      # Dependencies which use the lib target name as extern name, do not need
      # to be specified in the crateRenames, even if their crate name differs.
      #
      # Including multiple versions of a crate is very popular during
      # ecosystem transitions, e.g. from futures 0.1 to futures 0.3.
    , crateRenames
      # A list of extra options to pass to rustc.
      #
      # Example: [ "-Z debuginfo=2" ]
      # Default: []
    , extraRustcOpts
      # A list of extra options to pass to rustc when building a build.rs.
      #
      # Example: [ "-Z debuginfo=2" ]
      # Default: []
    , extraRustcOptsForBuildRs
      # Whether to enable building tests.
      # Use true to enable.
      # Default: false
    , buildTests
      # Passed to stdenv.mkDerivation.
