Hello,
I'm interested in working on the Haiku ARM port. I have been working on
preparing a Haiku image for a Raspberry Pi 2. I successfully built the
generic image in my Haiku x86_64 VM and found the Rune[1] tool, but it
appears it no longer (?) builds on Haiku.
I started looking into what's going wrong. The mio[2] Rust library is an
dependency via reqwests and also doesn't build on Haiku. To reproduce,
check out v0.7.7 of mio and run
cargo build --features os-poll,net
It looks like an event notification interface needs to be implemented
for Haiku. It seems like the simplest path forward would be to use
poll() for now. However, I found a comment on the discussion board[3]
pointing to an implementation of an API similar to kqueue for Haiku, but
it looks like it was never merged. I was unable to find further
discussion about it.
So my question is, does anyone have Rune building on Haiku? If not, is
this change a worthwhile use of time?
I'm pretty new to Haiku, so hopefully this problem is simpler than it seems!
Best regards,
Zack Marvel
P.S. I was surprised to find rustc and cargo already packaged. Great
work! Rune is also a really neat strategy for preparing the SD card.
