Building

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• For cross-compilation: cross + Docker/Podman

Linux (native)

Install system dependencies:

# Arch
sudo pacman -S pkg-config fontconfig freetype2 libxkbcommon wayland vulkan-icd-loader

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install pkg-config libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libxkbcommon-dev libwayland-dev libvulkan-dev

Build:

Binary output: target/release/sievers

Windows (cross-compile from Linux)

Requires cross and Docker/Podman:

cargo install cross --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross
cross build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Binary output: target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/sievers.exe

Note: For a polished Windows release (proper icon, no console flash), building natively on Windows with the MSVC toolchain (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) is recommended.

macOS

Cross-compiling to macOS from Linux is unreliable due to Apple SDK licensing and Metal framework dependencies. Building natively on a Mac (or via macOS CI runners) is recommended:

# Add targets
rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin aarch64-apple-darwin

# Apple Silicon
cargo build --release --target aarch64-apple-darwin

# Intel
cargo build --release --target x86_64-apple-darwin

# Universal binary (optional)
lipo -create \
  target/x86_64-apple-darwin/release/sievers \
  target/aarch64-apple-darwin/release/sievers \
  -output sievers-universal

Release profile

The Cargo.toml release profile is pre-configured with:
