Corrosion is a tool for integrating Rust into existing CMake projects, automatically importing Rust executables, static libraries, and dynamic libraries as CMake targets. It simplifies linking Rust and C/C++ code in a single build, including cross-compilation scenarios.

Use cases

• build a C++ project that links a Rust library
• integrate Rust crates into an existing CMake build system
• import Rust executables and libraries as CMake targets
• cross-compile a mixed Rust and C/C++ codebase
• link C/C++ libraries into a Rust executable built with CMake
• replace manual cargo invocations in CMake builds

When to choose

• you have an existing CMake project and want to add Rust components
• you need Rust and C/C++ code built together with one build system
• you want simple cross-compilation of mixed Rust/C++ projects

When to avoid

• your project is pure Rust and can use Cargo directly
• your build system is not CMake (e.g. Bazel, Meson, Make)
• you only need to call Rust tools from scripts rather than integrate builds
