== Installating with bindgen support ==

By default crates using <code>bindgen</code> will not compile. To add ~~bindegen~~ support add the <code>rustPlatform.~~bindegenHook~~</code> to your <code>nativeBuildInputs</code>.

=== ~~VSCode~~ integration ===

=== VS Code integration ===

The [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer rust-~~lang~~.rust-analyzer~~] VSCode~~ extension ~~offers Rust support~~.

The [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer] VS Code extension offers Rust support.

If you get the error <code>can't load standard library, try installing rust-src</code>, either configure <code>RUST_SRC_PATH</code> as shown above, or set <code>"rust-analyzer.server.path": "rust-analyzer"</code> in your VS Code settings to use rust-analyzer from nixpkgs rather than the one bundled with the extension.

You can use the [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector arrterian.nix-env-selector] extension to enable your nix-shell inside VSCode and have these settings picked up by other extensions.
