Docker image which builds the rust toolchain for i586 processors.
To build the latest rust from the stable branch:
sudo docker compose --progress=plain -f docker-compose.yml build
To start the container:
sudo docker compose --progress=plain -f docker-compose.yml up
or sudo docker compose up
To move around and look what was generated:
sudo docker exec -it rust-i586-main-1 bash
To copy the tar.gzin which the installer is:
sudo docker cp rust-i586-main-1:/rust/build/dist/rust-nightly-i586-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz .
The build takes about 2 hours on a 10 years old 8 cores CPU with a 2TB SSD.
When used with the following:
- linic/docker-tcl-core-x86
- linic/openssl-i586 it's possible to build an image of Tiny Core Linux which somewhat replicates what would run on a Pentium II laptop such as the IBM 560Z. This is the image:
- linic/tcl-core-rust-i586
After that, it's much easier to deploy rust on a Pentium II laptop with a recent Linux kernel
provided by Tiny Core Linux. Building will still be very slow, but since we have a fully functional
docker image with the same compiler, it should be possible to build on a more powerful machine via
the docker container and then docker cp the binaries out of the container.
