rust-opt installs a limited set of Rust stable binaries to /opt/rust. This is to allow Rust-based SlackBuilds to build more recent versions than would be possible with system Rust. To use the rust-opt binaries in a SlackBuild, make the following export statements: export PATH="/opt/rust/bin:$PATH" if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]; then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/rust/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX" else export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/rust/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" fi If your SlackBuild experiences build failures on 64-bit systems, please ensure that the LIBDIRSUFFIX variable is set. rust-opt is not intended as a substitute for rustup or for the Slackware Rust package in terms of Rust development purposes. Separate downloads are available for x86_64, i686 and ARM.
