Issue:
How to call rust function from c++ main()
I have found a sample here, but it use rust main recall c++ function. How can I call rust function directly in c++ main?
[cpp_calling_rust](https://github.com/google/autocxx/tree/main/examples/cpp_calling_rust)

I think I need a extra build system to compile c++, and link the rust staticlib/cdylib. But how to transfer the rust code and build staticlib/cdylib using autocxx and cargo, please help.

Pull request:
Remove no mod found error
Fixes #1236.
