Hello, I may not be using this correctly but I wanted to see what the preferred way to do this is
I'm using wit-bindgen to define a world with imports and exports, that I would like my component to support as I am importing it into a program that will provide those imports and exports.
When compiling with cargo component build --release, and then inspecting with wasm-tools component wit ./path/to/module.wasm I'm noticing that in addition to my defined world, it has several other imports defined, namely to do with wasi:cli, wasi:io, wasi:clocks, wasi:filesystem
I dont need these for my component, and so Im wondering if theres a way to not include them in the build.
Thank you
Hey @Karl Smit to do that, compile with wasm32-unknown-unknown as a target -- that will remove the WASI dependencies.
