Rust in gobo Linux is grate but it could be better.

[xaturingAI]

Been testing Gobo Linux out why I do love I have notice when you the Compile to then Compile a rust software it dose not normally compile right when using "Compile" vs cargo build, I think part of the issue is then it can't run any cargo sub commands to fix something that breaks during the Compile, I might be missing knowledge of how ti edit Recipes to get them to use cargo right but I notice if just do the cargo build and move the binary file to /System/index/Sbin gobo Linux is able to call all rust binry just fine, but this is not idea as then I can't add the rust software to gobo linux recipe page,

However when running running cargo build on software I got quite a few rust software up are running,

these includes Cosmic-Edit Cosmic-CTL Microsoft-Edit Winetricks-rs a new folk of winetricks with a GUI works fine but can't call wine well do it just not being Compiled on the system but the GUI and subcommands of winetricks work fine. Protonup-rs is able to work fine ish but can't call wine however when download it with custom dir and point to the /Programs dir it is able to download wine-Ge Proton-GE watch are very impotent for steam and other wine games in 2025.

the Yazi Blazing Fast Terminal File Manager also work just fine

the Leftwm dose not work as right now as I'm missing some sort some xorg file or something dose not allow it be used with startx

been trying really hard to learn gobo Linux because out all the Linux os and freebsd os, somehow gobo linux use the less amount of ram even thou I compile way more on it so trying to get it so it can be gaming ready, with Wine winetricks steam etc a big part of the issue s is missing 32 bit lib files

Cargo should be implemented properly, but using the Alien subsystem. We do not have support for cargo yet.

That would probably be the most straight forward way to deal with rust packages. But it requires some work on our tooling, mailny a compat file in https://github.com/gobolinux/AlienVFS/tree/master/gobo/alienvfs AFAIK.

I do not have much experience with regards to rust and cargo. Mostly I copy/pasted the LFS/BLFS instructions.

I think the LFS/BLFS instructions should also work on GoboLinux. Do we have recipes for crates? Are these necessary? I think rust manages installations via cargo on its own. I guess Alien could support it in the long run. There are probably few folks with that use case - not saying this is not a valid use case, just saying that this may be an explanation. I think the original devs, e. g. hisham, lucas and so forth, may have had more exposure with other languages (such as lua) than rust.

I do want to help the devs with Gobo Linux, and one of my plans to see if the Alienvfs system they have can be update with a rust/cagro script as from my test with rust and cargo work awesome on gobo linux, I got quite a bit stuff working that really amazed me, I by no means a "pro" at rust or anything or cargo, I think you'r right on hisham had more exposure with lua as AlienVFS is a virtual filesystem was all made in lua, I do really want to try and make script for it, to add rust/cargo support to it, just have not had the time as of yet

Sounds great, I am looking forward to your contributions! :))
