• Unpack rust-1.XX.X-<arch>-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz (after checking gpg signature)
• Run install.sh –prefix=/usr/local/rust –disable-ldconfig (for minimal install –components=rustc,rust-std-armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf,cargo)
• Make symlinks in /usr/local/bin (if not done previously - maybe avoid rls as emacs defaults to that instead of rust-analyzer)
• Create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rust.conf contents: /usr/local/rust/lib
• Run ldconfig

• Unpack rustc-1.XX.X-src.tar.gz (after checking gpg signature)
• mkdir -p /usr/local/rust/lib/rustlib/src/rust
• cp -dR –preserve=timestamps rustc-1.XX.X-src/library/ /usr/local/rust/lib/rustlib/src/rust/

• Start Rust 1.63 (MSVC) Shell for 32-bit or 64-bit
• Run the following command to setup the MSVC environment

32-bit

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat"

64-bit

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

Make sure to have the necessary external libraries available if needed. Example with librrd (and its dependencies)

# Needs librrd-dev:armhf for the last linking step

#Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
#| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
#|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

#+++-================-============-============-=========================================================
#ii  librrd-dev:armhf 1.7.2-3+b7   armhf        time-series data storage and display system (development)

Then to compile for armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

cargo build -r --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --config target.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.linker=\"arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc\"

Use #[non_exhaustive] for error enums to avoid API breaks when just adding a new type of error.

From Guide to Rustc Development The basic perf command is this:

perf record -F99 --call-graph dwarf XXX

The -F99 tells perf to sample at 99 Hz, which avoids generating too much data for longer runs (why 99 Hz you ask? It is often chosen because it is unlikely to be in lockstep with other periodic activity). The –call-graph dwarf tells perf to get call-graph information from debuginfo, which is accurate. The XXX is the command you want to profile. So, for example, you might do:
