For coreutils, there are two build artifacts:
1. multicall executable (each utility is a separate static library)
2. individual utilities (still separate library with main wrapper)
To avoid namespace collision, each utility crate is defined as
"uu_{CMD}". The end user only sees the original utility name. This
simplifies build.rs.
Also, the thin wrapper for the main() function is no longer contained in
the crate. It has been separated into a dedicated file. This was
necessary to work around Cargo's need for the crate name attribute to
match the name in the respective Cargo.toml.
I separated test's main() into a separate file to override Cargo's
requirement for matching crate names. I had to update the build command
to use a special extern reference for test.
Fixes issues caused by #728.
To avoid linking issues with Rust's libtest, the crate for the test
utility was changed to 'uutest'. However, the user doesn't need to see
this so a few hoops were jumped through to make this transparent.
I also updated the make rules to build the individual features first and
then uutils. This makes 'make && make test' look more organized.
Everything in src/common has been moved to src/uucore. This is defined
as a Cargo library, instead of directly included. This gives us
flexibility to make the library an external crate in the future.
Fixes#717.
Builds the uutils multicall binary containing all utils (except stdbuf)
by default. To only build a subset
`cargo --no-default-features --features <utils>`
can be used.
Whats missing is building the standalone binaries and a mechanism to
automatically disable the build of unix only utils on windows.
Improve handling of unicode on Windows
Disable a few crates on Windows that abuse unix APIs too much
