Installation for use from Rust

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.simple-soft-float]
version = "0.2"

Installation for use from Python

Install Rust using rustup.rs.

Create CPython 3.6 to 3.8 virtualenv.

Install Python bindings build tool:

pip install maturin

Get source:

git clone https://salsa.debian.org/Kazan-team/simple-soft-float.git
cd simple-soft-float

Change source dir to use specific version of Rust nightly: (must be in simple-soft-float dir):

rustup override set nightly-2020-01-23

Build and Test (like setup.py develop):

cargo test --features python # runs tests from Rust
# build and install to python
maturin develop --cargo-extra-args="--features python-extension"
python -m unittest # runs smoke tests from Python

Build Rust docs:

cargo doc --features python # ignore warning about rand_core name collision
