Usage

This crate works with Cargo and is on crates.io. Just add the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
GSL = "2.0"

You can see examples in the examples folder.

Building

To build rgsl, just run cargo build. However, if you want to use a specific version, you'll need to use the cargo features. For example:

cargo build --features v2_1

If a project depends on this version, don't forget to add in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.GSL]
version = "2"
features = ["v2_1"]

Documentation

You can access the rgsl documentation locally, just build it:

> cargo doc --open

Then open this file with an internet browser: file:///{rgsl_location}/target/doc/rgsl/index.html

You can also access the latest build of the documentation via the internet here.
