 dish [Fox/It/She] | I believe buildAndTestSubdir is the intended way to build a single binary | 03:08:14 |
 Charles | so my question kinda implies that i know that cargo can do this on its own, in addition to explicitly asking how to do this in the context of buildRustPackage. how do you suggest i do what you are telling me to do, precisely, in terms of, say, some example nix code? | 03:09:18 |
 eveeifyeve | cargoBuildFlags = [ "--package <package>" ]; & cargoTestFlags = [ "--package <package>" ];? | 03:10:57 |
| eveeifyeve | But also the suggestion from dish [Fox/It/She] works as well. | 03:11:37 |
| Charles | okay, so maybe just lead with that next time instead of basically repeating my question back at me | 03:11:36 |
| Charles | should i elaborate/rephrase? | 03:14:26 |

 azban | This package's build scripts clones a repo to the OUT_DIR https://github.com/isar-community/isar-community/blob/4c2cd02d4e5c17b7edca89d141d1729ddc1698ff/packages/mdbx_sys/build.rs#L60-L62
Is there a clever way to do this? All that I can think of is to copy the files, set an env var that specifies that directory, and add a patch to not clone the repo, and to look for that env var. | 01:00:55 |

| Alyssa Ross | Generally with a -sys crate it's a good idea to have some way to provide an already-compiled library so it can be built with whatever options the packaging system likes to use. | 06:47:49 |
| Alyssa Ross | You can demonstrate this if upstream is unaware by pointing to any of the popular -sys crates. | 06:48:06 |
