# Compiling a C++ Program with a Statically-Linked Rust Library Using CMake
This is based on https://github.com/AndrewGaspar/cmake_including_rust
but using sourmash as an example.
#### Project Set-Up
This is an test case for adding Rust to a C++ project that is currently being
compiled using CMake, through the ExternalProject module. It's desired to have
this library be *statically* linked (using a `*.a` file) vs. dynamically-linked (using a `.so` file).
Clone with submodules:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/luizirber/sourmash_cpp
$ cd sourmash_cpp
$ git submodule update --init --remote --recursive
```
The project can be built by doing the following:
```
$ mkdir -p _build
$ cd _build
$ cmake ..
$ make
```
The set-up is currently the following:
```
.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── README.md
├── sourmash
│ ├── include
│ │ └── kmer_min_hash.hh
│ ├── Cargo.toml
│ └── src
│ └── ...
└── src
└── main.cpp
```
The Rust library is compiled using `cargo build` through the ExternalProject module in CMake.
The `Cargo.toml` file for that project specifies that both a static and dynamic library should be built,
by specifying `crate-type = ["staticlib","cdylib"]` under `[lib]`.
