High-level Rust bindings for the lzham codec.

lzham

High-level Rust bindings for lzham codec built upon the lower-level lzham-sys crate.

You must have cmake and a C++ compiler to build this crate, as the lzham-sys crate builds lzham library and does not search for a prebuilt library.

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
lzham = "0.1.1"

Examples

use lzham::{compress, decompress};
let data = String::from("This is a test.");

let mut comp = Vec::new();
let status = compress(&mut data.as_bytes(), &mut comp);

assert!(status.is_success());

let mut decomp = Vec::new();
let status = decompress(&mut comp.as_slice(), &mut decomp, data.len());

assert!(status.is_success());

Linking

lzham supports both static and dynamic linking. To link statically, you can either set LIBLZHAM_STATIC or LZHAM_STATIC environment variables to true, or use the static feature.

To link dynamically, use the dynamic feature.

If you don't set any environment variables or use any features, the build will be the expected default library linking method based on OS or target. For Windows, macOS and Linux with musl, it will be static. For Linux without musl, it will be dynamic.

Note that environment variables take precedence over features. In case of any ambiguity, it uses the default linking method.

Features

The crate has the following two features:

• static: Links to the library statically
• dynamic: Links to the library dynamically

These set the appropriate lzham-sys features, which is responsible for building and linking the library.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++

Despite having g++ (and installing build-essential on debian), I'm unable to compile. Any ideas?
