waku-sys was a thin -sys crate that only re-exported the generated FFI sources via #[path] and carried the build. It sat between waku-bindings and the generated crate for no real benefit -- the generated crate is the actual -sys equivalent, and its own build.rs cannot build logos-delivery (bare `nim c`, one link directive). So the wrapper is folded in: - The build (make liblogosdelivery + the 13 link directives, librln discovery, cmd.c) moves into waku-bindings/build.rs. - waku-bindings pulls the generated ffi/types/api modules directly by #[path] into the vendor submodule, which moves from waku-sys/vendor to the repo root (vendor/). - ciborium/flume and the cc build-dep move over; the waku-sys path dependency is dropped. Consumers are unaffected -- they always depended only on waku-bindings. This is one crate and one layer fewer. build.rs now also removes a stale build/liblogosdelivery.dylib after the static build: the generated ffi.rs declares `#[link(name = "logosdelivery")]` with no kind, so a dylib left by a non-STATIC make would be linked dynamically over the static archive. Full suite passes (4 tests + doctest, 1 ignored) and all three examples build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Waku Rust bindings
Rust layer on top of logos-messaging-nim C FFI bindings.
Using the crate
For now this crate is consumed from a local checkout rather than a registry.
-
Clone the repo and check out the branch you want:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/logos-messaging/logos-delivery-rust-bindings cd logos-delivery-rust-bindings git checkout <branch> git submodule update --init --recursive -
Point your app at it by path:
# your app's Cargo.toml [dependencies] waku-bindings = { path = "../logos-delivery-rust-bindings/waku-bindings" }
Build prerequisites
waku-bindings builds the underlying Nim library from source the first time,
so the toolchain has to be present:
- Nim and nimble (installed by the vendored
maketargets, or bring your own onPATH) - make and a C/C++ toolchain
- A Rust toolchain (RLN is built from source)
The first build compiles the whole logos-delivery tree and is slow; subsequent builds are incremental.
What you can call
Everything is driven through LogosDeliveryCtx (re-exported at the crate root).
The crate docs group the available operations — node lifecycle, messaging,
reliable channels, and the typed event listeners — under Operations; run
cargo doc --open -p waku-bindings for the full, linked method list. A minimal
end-to-end example lives in examples/basic.
