I believe the most immediate item of concern is that Firefox now uses code written in Rust, so you'll be limited to platforms that the Rust compiler generates code for, and I don't know if anyone is bothering to do 32-bit code generation for Solaris/illumos in Rust. I did some attempts to package rustc for OI, based on the kind of SmartOS, but with no success for now: https://github.com/cgrzemba/oi-userland/tree/rust/ components/developer/rust For Rust community is Solaris a tier 3 platform which means no support. But the recipe tries to download the rust-std library wich is not available for Solaris. I have no pkgsrc build system to see how it works for SmartOS. I would be grateful if anyone can give some advice. I created a component for Rust some time ago. I'll try to push it later today as an example. Not sure whether it will work with recent versions. I updated my work on github but it throws still erros on build because it use cc instead of gcc for linking, although I set --default-linker=gcc and RUSTFLAGS="-C linker=gcc" The similar setup works with pkgsrc on smartos. Perhaps someone has an idea? ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
