My projects on GitHub are more like a tutorial than a finished product: bestia-dev tutorials.
A simple test program that creates a simple GUI for Windows with the crate iced.
This is an "retained mode" GUI and I will use that in my future works. The resulting exe is heavier than with egui "immediate mode", but the exe looks like a proper GUI program. "Iced" is used to create the Cosmic Desktop of System76 and it looks nice.
On my machine I have Windows11 with WSL/Debian. I will cross compile to Windows, copy the exe file with scp and run it on Windows.
I use cargo-auto for automation of the build process and to commit to GitHub. Just run cargo auto and follow the instructions. To work with GitHub it will need the Personal Access Token from https://github.com/settings/tokens.
Copy the exe file from the container 'crustde' to win folder. Run in windows git-bash:
scp rustdevuser@crustde:/home/rustdevuser/rustprojects/counter_iced/target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/counter_iced.exe /c/Users/Luciano/rustprojects/counter_iced/
# then run in git-bash
cd ~/rustprojects/counter_iced
./counter_iced.exeMy open-source projects are free as a beer (MIT license).
I just love programming.
But I need also to drink. If you find my projects and tutorials helpful, please buy me a beer by donating to my PayPal.
You know the price of a beer in your local bar ;-)
So I can drink a free beer for your health :-)
Na zdravje! Alla salute! Prost! Nazdravlje! 🍻
