Redox Support about rustysd HOT 14 CLOSED

Will do. I've ended up needing to make some additions to relibc where things aren't implemented in order to get things to compile, I have no idea whether most of it will work. We shall see.

c03f1e8 bumped the nix version to 0.16.1

Very nice! It's certainly good to have someone with deeper knowledge on redox agreeing that rustysd shouldn't be too hard to get running.

If chrono becomes too big of a problem rustysd could also use another logger on redox. I think that is the only place where it's used. Unfortunately I don't exactly know how redox handles the relibc/libc stuff.

Please keep me updated if you hit any roadblocks / get it running successfully!

@KillingSpark The branch of nix with redox support is based on something past 0.15.0 and there's a little API breakage in there. Would you be willing to update the deps here (specifically bump nix to 0.16.1) so that your codebase just works with that branch?

from rustysd.

Link to that branch for the curious?

from rustysd.

The branch branches after 0.16.1, just checked. https://github.com/AdminXVII/nix/tree/add-redox-support-bis

@MggMuggins any idea if @AdminXVII is going to be looking to upstream this work?

from rustysd.

@cdbattags I'm periodically rebasing the branch to try and merge it upstream. Nix is taking quite some time to merge the PR, though. I will try to re-ping the maintainer soon.

Here's the PR: nix-rust/nix#1098

from rustysd.

@MggMuggins I will bump the nix to the newest version when I get to it, upgrading nix shouldn't take too much time

from rustysd.

@AdminXVII Any idea why your PR isn't getting merged? I'd like to see how this works out :)

from rustysd.

@KillingSpark They want to try to compile Redox to debug I think. The thing is that they are on BSD and the compilation isn't really smooth on non-linux systems.

Hi just doing a bit of cleanup. It's been a while and I'll be honest, redox support isn't high on my TODO list. Is this issue still relevant?

from rustysd.

I haven't spent a ton of time thinking about Redox much since I've been at university; I think they've made some substantial progress in terms of compatibility. There was some change in std that made porting crates a lot easier. It's possible Rustysd would work without much modification. Could be an interesting use case.

But I'm not working on anything for Redox right now (nor planning on it), so certainly not a priority.
