Windows support

[msrd0]

Currently, this project relies on the rlottie C library to be precompiled and pkg-config to be able to find it. This seems to be incompatible with windows.

I see two options going forward:

• Somehow detect precompiled versions of rlottie on Windows. No idea if that's possible, and which tools are necessary to do this.
• Add a vendor feature similar to other -sys crates in the ecosystem that downloads and compiles a version of rlottie and statically links it.

These options are not incompatible with each other, so both could be implemented if desired. As I don't have windows, I cannot implement this myself, but PRs are welcome. Any implementing PR needs to have a CI setup that tests everything on windows as I won't be able to test locally.

I am a proud Linux user: ), but I have a windows machine so I will try hacking this together

The vendor feature has the advantage that the user does not have to care, how to install rlottie. As example rlottie is also not package for mac os brew.

I could run rlottie-rs on my windows.

Here is the process what I did:

• install mingw, ninja, llvm, and pkgconfiglite using chocolatey.

$ choco install mingw -y
$ choco install ninja -y
$ choco install llvm -y
$ choco install pkgconfiglite -y

• Install rlottie. ( ninja install may need administrator privillege )

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Samsung/rlottie
$ cd rlottie
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
$ ninja install -C build

• set PKG_CONFIG_PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, PATH to each folder ( ninja install shows )

  • in my case, PKG_CONFIG_PATH to C:\lib\pkgconfig, C_INCLUDE_PATH to C:\include, LIBRARY_PATH to C:\lib, PATH to C:\bin

• copy rlottie\example\win32Player\rlottie.lib to LIBRARY_PATH folder, and copy rlottie\example\win32Player\rlottie.dll to PATH folder (in my case, C:\lib and C:\bin)

• then finally try cargo install rlottie-rs (like $ cargo install lottieconv --features="clap gif")
