How to distribute rsmgclient library files?

[gitbuda]

As far as I know, crates is distributing source files, which is great but the installation of rsmgclient on, e.g., Windows is not trivial because mgclient has to be compiled. Obviously, installation is not super hard, but it's not a "one-command" effort.

The best approach I see at the moment is to publish the crate + explain to the users in the best possible way how to set up the Windows environment?

• https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/41v5v1/is_it_possible_to_create_a_proprietary_library_in/ (rsmgclient is open-source, but the link has interesting info).

@antaljanosbenjamin any thoughts here? :smile:

I am closing this because crates gets source files. Additional binary distribution is not required at the moment.
