Hey. Apologies if this has been answered already, but I keep finding the question online, but not the answer.
Is it possible to set up Cargo rules to only build binaries or examples if the target is a specific OS or set of Operating Systems?
I tried variations of this with no luck:
[[bin]]
name = "my-linux-util"
required-features = ["utils"]
target_os = ["linux", "android"]
No, it's not possible. Only dependencies can be platform-specific.
If you already have a Linux-only crate, then Cargo's natural solution is just not try to build it on other platforms.
If you want to be thorough, you can use cfg(not(linux)) and compile_error! to break compilation early on other platforms. Or wrap everything in cfg(linux) and make it compile to nothing on other platforms.
