zenohc nuget package

[schragnasher]

Hello, I would like to use zenoh on a windows machine to integrate with some robot dogs. Any chance there might be a nuget for zenohc? As it starts the API needs that dll. Or if you can help me out with getting the dll on a windows machine.

Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,

Releasing zenoh-c to NuGet is certainly a good idea! But I have no clue how to do this...
As it's a native library, is it possible to do 1 NuGet package containing the libs for several platforms ? Or 1 NuGet per platform ?
If you have some pointers on how to do this I'll have a look.

Wrt. building zenoh-c on Windows, it seems to work, at least in our CI: https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-c/runs/2097200648?check_suite_focus=true.
Please try the following:

• Install the Rust environment for Windows: https://rustup.rs/
• Clone zenoh-c
• Build zenoh-c with this command: cargo build --release.
• This should produce the .dll in zenoh-c\target\release dir
• Copy the .dll to a directory where .NET can find it (I'm not what's the most appropriate dir on Windows)

If you have any trouble installing zenoh-c on Windows, please create an issue in zenoh-c, detailing the steps you did and the error you get.
