How do I generate a text file during compile time and include its content in the output?

Question

I\'m trying to do almost the same as How to create a static string at compile time.

build.rs

use std::{env};
use std::path::Path;
use std::io::{Wri         


        

Answer 1

If anyone is interested in a more convenient way to achieve the same, I also created the build_script_file_gen crate which can be used as follows

build.rs

extern crate build_script_file_gen;
use build_script_file_gen::gen_file_str;

fn main() {
    let file_content = "Hello World!";
    gen_file_str("hello.txt", &file_content);
}

main.rs

#[macro_use]
extern crate build_script_file_gen;

fn main() {
    println!(include_file_str!("hello.txt"));
}
