Rust [SOLVED!] error: linking with cc failed: exit status: 1 (with simple hello world program)

R

I was trying to run a small "hello world" program and received a few errors. This is one of them. I have a new Rust installation with Cargo on FreeBSD14.3.
Code: 
root@user-ghostbsd:/home/user/Downloads/memory # cargo run

There a few more errors, but each is about the same as the one above. I am new to Rust. The only "ld" folder I found was: /compat/linux/dev/fd/152854/ld and it was empty except for three files that seemed to not have anything to do with the "unable to find library" errors. I have the GNU compiler collection, cargo, and the Rust language installed.

Any help with this is appreciated much. Thanks.

I typed these commands into a terminal and updated the packages.

pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

I typed this afterwards:
freebsd-version -kru

and received:
Code: 
root@user-ghostbsd:/ # freebsd-version -kru

14.3-RELEASE-p7

I followed the Google link you sent. The Google files are identical to mine. I followed the instructions and used both "cargo run" and in another terminal window "rustc" like in the directions. The error message was the same for both runs.
Code: 
root@user-ghostbsd:/home/user/Documents/Rust/hello_world # cargo build

error: could not compile `hello_world` (bin "hello_world") due to 1 previous error

I checked into that directory in the error message:

I'm still reading about this linking error and have not found anything yet. I have "GhostBSD" since it comes with a desktop. I tried for days to get a desktop on a mainstream version of FreeBSD, but the builds kept failing and I followed the manual. The Git "desktop-installer" did not work either. I'll be updating my FreeBSD version to 15 on the 16th of January when it comes available for GhostBSD. There is supposed to be a well funded FreeBSD laptop project that might make things easier to install, but it will take time for that to get completed.

Thanks for your time with this.

I have a spare PC and installed FreeBSD 15 on it. This PC and the one with GhostBSD are both HP t740s that have the same CPU, RAM, and SSD. I installed Rust in the FreeBSD 15 shell and used "cargo" to create the files including the .toml file. I ran the main.rs file with cargo and received the "Hello World!" message in the shell. It all works fine. I did a full install with the FreeBSD system. Now, I have to figure out how to get a working desktop on it. Maybe with FreeBSD 15 I will have better luck.
 
unitrunker: I tried desktop-installer before and it did not work for me, BUT I just tried it again on a fresh install of FreeBSD 15 from the FreeBSD website and it worked! In case anyone tries this, you run desktop-installer twice. The second time you run it is after a reboot. I am coming from GNOME on Debian Linux, but saw alot of positives about KDE Plasma. I chose this. There were alot of files loading and installed. I did not try the other desktops in the desktop-install script. KDE was a long install and I went to get a cup of coffee. After so many days off and on with trying to install a desktop from, I think, every blog and article, I was shocked that desktop-installer worked. Now I have a desktop and Rust going well. I'll be very busy exploring this new desktop on my HP t740 Thin Client. "desktop-installer" is a polished work of art! Thanks "desktop-installer" for making me happy. :)
 
A command specific to GhostBSD will install the missing files. I received this from someone at the GhostBSD forum. This fixed the problem and Rust is fine on GhostBSD, too. The command is below:

pkg install -g 'GhostBSD*dev'

Thanks again.
