In practice, it feels like everybody assumes that Rust is installed through Rustup and dependencies are statically linked from cargo. I have tried going the dynamic linking way, it's painful when it's not impossible.
- School-Cotton 2y agoRegardless of what "everybody assumes", you can in fact build rust binaries without using rustup or cargo. Distros do this. Yes, it's more painful for end users than just typing `cargo build`, but that's irrelevant to distro maintainers.
- palata 2y agoSome software (e.g. IDEs) will call `rustup` for some reason (yep, it happened to me and I therefore couldn't use that software). > Yes, it's more painful for end users than just typing `cargo build` Cargo is fine, I don't mind installing cargo. I just don't want my packages to be handled by my package manager. I don't want every project to ship their own custom package manager like rustup.
