Development

Compiling

Generally

cargo run -- -c ~/.config/database_exporter/config_local2.toml --help

On all major operating systems, except Windows, there is support for automatically creating a database.duckdb:

cargo build --release --features "duckdb"

Windows

If compiling for windows using the GNU target, it's necessary to use an optimized build, it seems some issues are inlined away this way:

note

Database Exporter is developed in an Arch Based Docker container using Distrobox

warning

Windows must compile:

Without the "duckdb" feature, and
With --release optimizations

# Add the Windows Target
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

# Install the linker
sudo pacman -S extra/mingw-w64-gcc

# Compile
cargo build --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --no-default-features --release

If this does not build, consider trying:

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
