- 32-Bit Windows Rust toolchains (
rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc)
Add the following to the .cargo/config for your crate:
[build]
target = "i686-pc-windows-msvc"
From a cdylib target, export a function named 'OpenConduit' with the signature shown below, using the ConduitBuilder type to implement the sync functionality for your conduit.
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "cdecl" fn OpenConduit(_: *const c_void, _: *const c_void) -> c_long {
let database: PalmDatabase::<PdbDatabase> = fn_that_generates_your_db();
let conduit =
ConduitBuilder::new_with_name_creator(
CString::new("example_conduit").unwrap(),
[b'T', b'e', b's', b't']
)
.overwrite_db(ConduitDBSource::Static(
CString::new("ExampleContentDB").unwrap(),
[b'D', b'A', b'T', b'A'],
database,
))
.build();
match conduit.sync() {
Ok(_) => 0,
Err(_) => -1,
}
}Use the ConduitInstallation and ConduitManager types to define and install a conduit with the same CreatorID used in your on-device application:
let builder = ConduitInstallation::new_with_creator(
['T', 'e', 's', 't'],
CString::new("example_conduit.dll").unwrap(),
)
.unwrap()
.with_title(CString::new("Example").unwrap());
ConduitManager::initialize()
.unwrap()
.reinstall(builder)
.unwrap();Finally, move the *.dll you made previously into your hotsync folder. This can also be done programatically in the previous step. Your conduit is now enabled, and will run during each hotsync of a device with the relevant application installed.
