Currently, the Rust components are built differently on Android vs Linux. We are missing Rust support in our GN toolchain so we currently build the Rust libraries as a staticlib and link in C++. This may change in the future once we have better support.
For now, you can build all of the Rust code using Cargo.
There are some dependencies:
- You must have the protobuf-compiler package installed
- You must have a recent version of Cargo + Rust
You should use build.py
at the root to do your Rust builds so that it
correctly points your dependencies towards the vendored crates and sets your
$CARGO_HOME to the correct location.
