Hi. Folks periodically express a desire to run Rust on FreeBSD, and until now we've had to say that it wasn't possible. Thanks to a big effort over the last month by Jyun-Yan You we can now build Rust and run the entire test suite on FreeBSD.
While I can't claim that it is 'officially supported', I do want to encourage folks interested in using this combo to give it a shot. I'll do my best to ensure that snapshots continue to be available. There are FreeBSD-specific notes on the getting started wiki page[1]. You should also probably be aware that the FreeBSD build has an issue that prompted me to temporarily turn off multithreading[2].
