I'm trying to use a linker script to include a binary as a static variable in my code. At the moment, I am calling include_bytes on "binary.xz".
I want to change my compression algorithm and start calling include_bytes on "binary.gz", but only in specific scenarios. In my mind, the way I want to do this is by checking if "binary.gz" exists, and if yes, including it, otherwise using "binary.xz".
How do I go about this?
The simplest way is probably to check this in build.rs and emit the file with either include_bytes!("binary.gz") or include_bytes!("binary.xz"), which will be then include!d into the actual code.
Oh I was having some complications in my build.rs , so I was trying to do the check in my Makefile. But for whatever reason, wildcard is not returning the output that is expected.
