Hello there and welcome to my small corner of the smolnet where
I am going to attempt to document my journey for development
oriented explorations for Haiku [1].
One technology that has piqued my interest (and probably
plenty of others) is Rust. Fortunately, Rust has already
been ported to Haiku which takes the heavy lifting
of getting started with Rust on Haiku that much easier.
However, there is still plenty of work to be done
to get Haiku better supported for Rust. For example, rustup
which is a tool to help install Rust is not supported
under Haiku.
Even though rustup isn't available as an option for
installation, there is a solution with a Haiku port.
To get it installed it is as simple as
~> pkgman install rust_bin # note the bin ... (elide lots of scrollage) ~> pkgman search rust_bin Status Name Description -------------------------------------------------------------- S rust_bin Modern and safe systems programming language
Once installed you'll be greeted with many familiar tools
in Rustland like rustc and cargo.
~> rustc --version rustc 1.60.0 (2e3e23e17 2022-04-05) ~> cargo --version cargo 1.60.0 (d1fd9fe2c 2022-03-01)
Enjoy!
