Hi Dennis,      I am not Marcus, but try to answer your question. No, I think there will be no such option. To cross-compile you need AIX runtime on your Linux. Rust compiler doesn't provide any runtimes. IBM as you may know doesn't provide such runtime too. So it is unfortunately up to you/us as IBM customers to enable the cross-compilation. As for now I don't know any way to do it. It'd require all headers and some libraries from live AIX system and AIX linker working on x86_64 Linux.   ------------------------------ Andrey Klyachkin   https://www.power-devops.com ------------------------------

It works but yes - there are a lot of crates which don't support AIX.   ------------------------------ Andrey Klyachkin  https://www.power-devops.com <https://www.power-devops.com>  Original Message: Sent: Tue March 07, 2023 06:01 AM From: Marcus Hirt Subject:  rust on AIX   It seems that https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/553 <https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/553> is closed, but there are still a few related open issues, such as https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1823 <https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1823> and https://github.com/seanmonstar/num_cpus/pull/123 <https://github.com/seanmonstar/num_cpus/pull/123>. Has anyone started playing around with the Rust support on AIX yet?   ------------------------------ Marcus Hirt  Original Message: Sent: Tue November 22, 2022 08:29 AM From: Ayappan P Subject:  rust on AIX  It is a work in progress.

At Datadog we're also interested in learning what the future of Rust on AIX is.    Kind regards,  Marcus   ------------------------------ Marcus Hirt  Original Message: Sent: Mon May 30, 2022 07:08 AM From: SANKET RATHI Subject:  rust on AIX  Yes llvm now works on AIX but when we evaluated Rust porting it is very involved effort and we are working on a plan within IBM how to contain. It is not easy port as it requires integrated assembler and linker to also work on AIX as well. Rust work is very different from c/c++ hence it is not easy to adapt.  Right now I can not provide any definitive answer but we are evaluating options.  ------------------------------ SANKET RATHI  Original Message: Sent: Thu May 26, 2022 03:51 AM From: monitor monitor Subject: rust on AIX  Hi,  There is any news on porting rust to AIX? As far as I could understand, llvm is already available.  TIA, Daniel  ------------------------------ monitor monitor  Original Message: Sent: Wed October 21, 2020 09:46 AM From: SANKET RATHI Subject: rust on AIX  XL C/C++ are not based on LLVM. But there is work going on for porting llvm for AIX https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130175.html <https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130175.html>  This will take some time until we do not have llvm backend rust will not be possible on AIX.  ------------------------------ SANKET RATHI  Original Message: Sent: Wed October 21, 2020 09:34 AM From: Andrey Klyachkin Subject: rust on AIX  Hi Sanket, as far as I know, the new XL C/C++ compiler is built using LLVM. That's why I suppose, that LLVM is already ported to AIX. My use case is very simple - the new InfluxDB 2.0 uses both Golang and Rust. Without Rust I will not be able to compile it on AIX.  ------------------------------ Andrey Klyachkin  https://www.power-devops.com <https://www.power-devops.com>  Original Message: Sent: Wed October 21, 2020 09:28 AM From: SANKET RATHI Subject: rust on AIX  Rust needs llvm backend which is not yet available on AIX. So this will require some good amount of work to port Rust on AIX.  May I ask what is your use case ?  ------------------------------ SANKET RATHI  Original Message: Sent: Wed October 21, 2020 08:42 AM From: Andrey Klyachkin Subject: rust on AIX  are any plans to port rust (Rust <https://www.rust-lang.org/>) to AIX?  ------------------------------ Andrey Klyachkin  https://www.power-devops.com <https://www.power-devops.com> ------------------------------  Reply to Sender : https://community.ibm.com/community/user/eGroups/PostReply?GroupId=6211&MID=381322&SenderKey=a698db27-2214-4789-9165-b2e9462fb9ef  Reply to Discussion : https://community.ibm.com/community/user/eGroups/PostReply?GroupId=6211&MID=381322    You are subscribed to "AIX Open Source" as Dennis.Schneck@schulergroup.com.
