rust cross-compiling rust-cargo buildconfiguration

Generating Rust executable or library, depending on the target platform

I am targeting my Rust project for Windows and Linux.

On Windows, the code needs to be linked to an executable, whereas on Linux - as a shared library.

To link the project as a Linux shared library, I added the following section to Cargo.toml:

[lib]
name = "my_project_name"
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

However that results in shared library generated on Windows, too.

Is there a way to tell Rust compiler to link the project as executable on Windows and as a library on Linux?

Solution

As far as I can see it's not possible to do so right now. Closest information I could find was this for a similar use case.
