Cerbero: How do I disable building Rust?

Application Development Build issues
1

The subject line says it all. It seems that Rust takes a long time to build. I’m not planning on using it, so how do I build gst-python w/o Rust?

2

Have you tried passing -v norust yet?

3

No. I didn’t see that in the list of variants. I’ll try that. Thanks!

Doesn’t work for me:

(py312) PS D:\GitClones\cerbero> .\cerbero-uninstalled build gst-python -v norust
Auto-detected MSYS2 install location as C:\msys64
usage: cerbero-uninstalled [-h] [-t] [--clocktime] [--list-variants] [-v VARIANTS] [-c CONFIG] [-m MANIFEST]

Tried again. Seems to be working now.

Maybe the README.md should be modified to describe how to disable a variant? Something like:

Disable a variant with -v no<variant name>

7

The README says:

Please feel free to submit a merge request against the README to improve it.

8

I must admit that I didn’t see that line. :flushed_face:
I only noticed it after I forked the repos and went to edit the README.

Alright, let’s try and improve the docs a little then: README: make it clearer how to disable variants (!1960) · Merge requests · GStreamer / cerbero · GitLab
