Cannot build simple hello world app in Rust

help

I get some wierd architecture error when trying to build a simple hello world app on OS X 10.11.2 ! :sob:

Just upgraded to 1.6, I dabbled in Rust a few months ago and didn't have issues like this.

Here's an example session:

cargo new myrust --bin
cd myrust
cargo build --verbose

Compiling myrust v0.1.0 (file:///Users/frank/myrust)

Any ideas what I should do?

Thanks!

Works for me on 10.10.5:

$$ rustc --version
rustc 1.6.0 (c30b771ad 2016-01-19)
$$ cargo new myrust --bin
$$ cd myrust
$$ cargo build --verbose
   Compiling myrust v0.1.0 (file:///private/tmp/myrust)

$$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.10.5

The error message you mention is found in the issue, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25858 . Is it possible that you have somehow configured your system toolchain to target OSX 10.6?

It seems unlikely that rust would be categorically broken on 10.11.2, but I suppose it's possible. Anyone else want to weigh in?

@sorear Thanks for reply. I just upgraded to the latest OS patch (10.11.3) I then launched Xcode (half wondering if something in there might have configured my toolchain wrong) and it asked me if it could install some 'extra components', so I went a long with this.

I then recreated the project as above and I'm glad to say it works now!

I'm not sure what was up with the previous OS version, but I definitely didn't get the prompt from Xcode before the patch.

Encountered similar problems, installing the compiler worked for me. Thanks.
