Use Thunk to build your Rust program to support old Windows platforms 中文自述文件 Thunk uses VC-LTL5 and YY-Thunks to build programs that support even Windows XP. So, how does it work? Add VC-LTL to the library search path Use YY-Thunks to remedy API that old platform that does not exist Note: Thunk does not guarantee the compiled program work or work accurately on old platforms. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Usage (As Command line tool) Preparation Download VC-LTL5 and YY-Thunks Binary, unzip them and add environment variable: Binary Environment Variable VC-LTL-XXX-Binary.7z VC_LTL YY-Thunks-XXX-Binary.zip YY_THUNKS Then add Thunk to run path. Install Thunk cargo install thunk-cli Sample 1. Build for Windows XP cargo new build_for_xp cd build_for_xp thunk --os xp --arch x86 -- --release Sample 2. Build a shared library for Windows XP cargo new build_for_xp cd build_for_xp thunk --os xp --arch x86 --lib -- --release Show help Use the following command to show help: thunk.exe --help Note: In order to distinguish the program build by Thunk, Thunk builds the release in ./target/*_build . Usage (As Library) Step1: Ensure command line tools curl and 7z could be found in PATH . (Needed if VC_LTL and YY_THUNKS not found in environment variables) Step2: Add thunk as a build dependency: cargo add thunk-rs --build Step3: Create a build script build.rs : fn main() { thunk::thunk(); } Then, your program should run on Windows XP. See thunk-rs.
