I am trying out Rust with a simple hello world program and am getting a linker error. I have "rustc" and "cargo" installed also.
I typed these commands into a terminal and updated the packages.
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade
I typed this afterwards:
freebsd-version -kru
and received:
root@user-ghostbsd:/ # freebsd-version -kru
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
root@user-ghostbsd:/ #
I followed the instructions on the Google Rust quick start webpage and used both "cargo run" and in another terminal window "rustc" like in the directions. The error message was the same for both runs.
root@user-ghostbsd:/home/user/Documents/Rust/hello_world # cargo build
Compiling hello_world v0.1.0 (/home/user/Documents/Rust/hello_world)

cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: could not compile `hello_world` (bin "hello_world") due to 1 previous error
root@user-ghostbsd:/home/user/Documents/Rust/hello_world #
I checked into that directory in the error message:
root@user-ghostbsd:/usr/local/bin # cd x86_64-unknown-freebsd14.3-ld
cd: x86_64-unknown-freebsd14.3-ld: Not a directory
root@user-ghostbsd:/usr/local/bin #
It may not mean anything, but this is my path:
root@user-ghostbsd:/ # echo $PATH
/home/user/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/gnat12/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/user/bin
root@user-ghostbsd:/ #
Thanks for any advice.
