Rustup, Cargo and Cross-compiling in Rust

These are slides for a hands-on presentation demonstrating the tooling around the Rust programming language at present. They cover rustup, cargo and theoretical aspects of cross-compiling programs in Rust.

These slides were presented at the Rust Meetup Bangalore - July 2016 hosted at Red Hat Bangalore.

Transcript

1. Rustup, Cargo and Cross-compiling Rust programs Kaustav Das Modak | @kaustavdm
2. https://rustup.rs Toolchain manager for Rust
3. $ rustup toolchain install nightly $ rustup toolchain list Install multiple rustc
4. $ rustup run nightly rustc hello.rs $ rustup run stable rustc hello.rs Compile with multiple rustc versions
5. $ rustup target list $ rustup target add <triple> Add other compile targets
6. $ rustup update $ rustup update nightly Keep updated
7. $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh Install rustup and play around
8. $ cargo Manage dependencies & builds
9. $ cargo new hello --bin Create a new cargo project
10. $ cargo build $ cargo run Build (run) the project
11. $ cargo install <crate> Install from crates.io
12. $ cargo build Dependencies are fetched and built
13. $ cargo build Dependencies are fetched and built
14. Cross-compiling add rustc target install proper linker tell cargo about the linker cargo build --target=<target>
