# Using Rust with Meson | ||
|
||
## Mixing Rust and non-Rust sources | ||
|
||
Meson currently does not support creating a single target with Rust and non Rust | ||
sources mixed together, therefore one must compile multiple libraries and link | ||
them. | ||
|
||
```meson | ||
rust_lib = static_library( | ||
'rust_lib', | ||
sources : 'lib.rs', | ||
... | ||
) | ||
c_lib = static_library( | ||
'c_lib', | ||
sources : 'lib.c', | ||
link_with : rust_lib, | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
This is an implementation detail of Meson, and is subject to change in the future. | ||
|
||
## Mixing Generated and Static sources | ||
|
||
*Note* This feature was added in 0.60 | ||
|
||
You can use a "structured source" for this. Structured sources are a dictionary | ||
mapping a string of the directory ('' means root), to a source or list of sources. | ||
When using a structured source all inputs *must* be listed, as Meson may copy | ||
the sources from the source tree to the build tree. | ||
|
||
Structured inputs are generally not needed when not using generated sources. | ||
|
||
As an implementation detail, Meson will attempt to determine if it needs to copy | ||
files at configure time and will skip copying if it can. Copying is done at | ||
build time (when necessary), to avoid reconfiguring when sources change. | ||
|
||
```meson | ||
executable( | ||
'rust_exe', | ||
structured_sources( | ||
'main.rs', | ||
{ | ||
'foo' : ['bar.rs', 'foo/lib.rs', generated_rs], | ||
'foo/bar' : [...], | ||
'other' : [...], | ||
} | ||
) | ||
) | ||
``` |
