is there a Rust build for aarch64-linux-android

Question

Recently I got a new smartphone with fairly beefy specs, so wanting to play around with Rust on the go I installed Termux and tried to rustup-init. However, this fails:

info: syncing channel updates for 'stable-aarch64-linux-android' info: latest update on 2017-08-31, rust version 1.20.0 (f3d6973f4 2017-08-27) error: target not found: 'aarch64-linux-android' $

Is there another way to get a rust environment on android?

Answer 1

Sadly rustup won't work on android.

You can manage to install cargo and rustc using Termux "its-pointless (live_the_dream)" community repository.

Also if you have rustup already installed, rm .cargo will remove the stub (which otherwise interferes with calling cargo or rustc).
