Pre-compiled binaries #52

Due to JuliaCon2023 I've heard about GraphBLAS and I'm fairly fascinated by it. I believe it could be a great addition to the rather hollow landscape of graph algorithms in Rust.

Unfortunately, there are substantial user configuration required for this to work. An idea could be to do like the Julia bindings, and provide precompiled binaries for this.

Great to hear that you got interested in GraphBLAS. It's an exciting and powerful approach.

Yes, you are right that installation is not trivial. Pre-compiled binaries could indeed make installation much easier and would also take the most time consuming step out of compilation.

Nevertheless, actual work to build, maintain and publish pre-compiled binaries is currently not planned.
