Description
Hi there! I'm thinking about using arrayfire-rust (through mushin) and will get around to trying it out sometime, but I noticed the need to manually download and install the AF binaries. This is not that much of an issue (and won't stop me from using it), but as a matter of convenience, is it possible to offer a feature that will automatically download the AF binaries as part of the build script?
There is precedent for this (e.g. here's an old example), but as it'd make the build non-isolated / potentially unreproducible, it should be an optional feature.
The ideal solution is still probably #192, but this should be a reasonable middle ground if users don't mind the downstream application downloading/bundling copies of AF.
