New image request: Rust #90

Closed pbishop62 closed 8 months ago

pbishop62 commented 1 year ago

Hi IBM,

Can there be an image provided for Rust, please? Preferably 1.69 if possible.

I'd like to try it under zCX when (if) the image is available. For now I'm stuck on x86 but would love to share this with Z customers and prospects.

Kind regards, Peter

Hi Peter,

Although I'm not IBM, you'll find that you can use a bare-bones OS container image, then use the s390x download from here - https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#standalone-installers

Thanks, very handy to know. I'll give that a shot ASAP and see how it goes.

Much obliged!

Hi Everyone, we're looking Rust in a container for Linux and z/OS (zCX), because there has been significant interest in it. It's a work-in-progress, and don't have any thing to post yet, but it's on our radar. We'll let everyone know when something is available.

Thanks Joe, I'll see how I go with the zCX installation in the meantime. Might take a week or so to get everything sorted out.

Best regards, Peter

Hmmm...I tried ubuntu and alpine in zCX, neither of which had curl, and finally installed Almalinux in zCX which does have curl, and got Rust installed using the standalone installer for s390x from the link shared by v1gnesh above, but then the "cargo run" failed due to there not being a linker (it was looking for 'cc').

I'll keep looking for a proper Linux distro that will run on s390x, but if anyone has a suggestion I'm all ears, as I'd really like to try Rust in zCX.

v1gnesh commented 1 year ago

cc refers to a C compiler. Try installing dev tools into the OS you're using. Package name(s) will vary based on distro.

pbishop62 commented 1 year ago

Thanks v1gnesh. I'll dig around the AlmaLinux site and see if I can find the right package.

Much obliged! Peter

pbishop62 commented 1 year ago

Update - I now have Rust running on zCX after "yum install gcc" on my AlmaLinux container.

Yay!

Thanks to v1gnesh for the pointers.

Off to go and start some Rust experimentation, Peter
