    Rust is an important systems programming language. It is Open Source as well with a growing developer mindset and many interesting projects.

    https://github.com/trending/rust

     

    At this juncture, the rust project components - std, rustc and cargo are available for the PowerPC platform.

     

    powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu ✓ ✓ ✓ PowerPC Linux
    powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu ✓ ✓ ✓ PPC64 Linux
    powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu ✓ ✓ ✓

    PPC64LE Linux

    https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html

     

    More so, the LLVM project supports PowerPC, PowerPC-64

    https://llvm.org/Features.html

     

    LLVM for System Z

    https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM2NjU

     

    Is there any effort initiated by AIXToolbox team to either cross-compile or contribute code to the Rust project, to try and support Rust on AIX ? Any thoughts ?

     

    warm regards

    Saifi.

    This question was asked back in 2018, but I'd like re-introduce it. 

    Are there any efforts to setup RPMs for AIX to enable easy install of rust?

    Hi  Howard @Howard Coles  very glad to see you asking about Rust for AIX.  Actually IBM Compiler team did launch an early program (Alpha) for Rust on AIX.  If you or your known friends/customers are interested,  please feel free to contact me (siyuan.zhang@cn.ibm.com) ,  with some basic information such as Name,  company name,  contact email, and the purpose of trying Rust AIX.  Then I will send you the link of Alpha program and make sure you get access to the Rust for AIX Alpha package.  Looking forward to your try-out.  Thanks.

    @Nishith Khandelwal  Hi  Nishith,  yes,  I am glad to provide you the access to Rust AIX.  Can you please send me an email (or private message) to provide some general information (such as your company,  your email address,  and the major purpose of trying Rust AIX,  e.g any Rust apps/crates you are interested, etc.)?   Then I will reply to you with the instructions on download.  Thanks.

    Very strange.  I haven't received any email from you.  Last week I sent you a private message here.  Please check your Inbox and reply with your info.  Or can you please try again with the email: xl_beta@ca.ibm.com?   Sorry for the delay but I do need your info (company & email) to register you on our early program website for download access.  Thanks.

    Hi Joerg,

    Can you try removing "-m64" and just leave in the "-maix64"?

    Hello Adam, 

    this is exactly my problem.  I do not know how. I did not set the -m64 compiler option. Here is my environment:

    export CXX="g++ -pthread"
export CXXFLAGS=-maix64
export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CC="gcc -pthread"
export CFLAGS=-maix64
export LDFLAGS="-lm"

    kind regards

    Hi Joerg, I recently had a similar problem trying to install oracledb, which requires maturin. To make it work, I had to use gcc v12 and Python 3.11. I also set my environment like this:

    export CC=/opt/freeware/bin/gcc-12
export CXX=/opt/freeware/bin/gcc-12
export RUSTFLAGS="-Clink-arg=-lbsd -Clink-arg=-lunwind -Clink-arg=-bbigtoc"
export OBJECT_MODE=64
export OPENSSL_DIR=/usr
export OPENSSL_NO_VENDOR=1
export OPENSSL_STATIC=0
export CFLAGS="-maix64"
export CCFLAGS="-maix64"
ulimit -m unlimited
ulimit -s unlimited
ulimit -d unlimited

    Perhaps you can try it out. 

    Regards,

    Gabriel

    Thanks Gabriel

    Speaking with a developer, you could also make this change in the `cc` crate for file src/lib.rs:

    @@ -2114,6 +2114,12 @@ impl Build {
                cmd.args.push("-m32".into());
            } else if target.abi == "x32" {
                cmd.args.push("-mx32".into());
            } else if target.os == "aix" {
                if cmd.family == ToolFamily::Gnu {
                    cmd.args.push("-maix64".into());
                } else {
                    cmd.args.push("-m64".into());
                }
            } else if target.arch == "x86_64" || target.arch == "powerpc64" {
                cmd.args.push("-m64".into());
            }

    Overall, we suggest using clang long term with our Rust compiler instead of GCC, just for the sake of interoperability.  But maturin should still build for you with GCC.

    I've seen that some "people" at IBM thought it would be a good idea to try to monetize an SDK for RUST.  I guess they were wanting to drive more people away from AIX?  

    Do they not know that RUST's SDK can be gotten for free anywhere else?

    But, my question is now:  Is there at least a free run time that will work with Python modules?

    Ahh we're not trying to monetize it and to that effect we've put out a free community edition which can now be accessed here:  https://early-access.ibm.com/software/support/trial/cst/welcomepage.wss?siteId=2171&tabId=6097&w=1
