Description
Hitting a build-time error with "dyld: Symbol not found: _linkat" on an old Mac. Rust itself should support back to 10.7 but without the libc crate supporting it, you're only able to do no_std work.
Though, this version of macOS is ancient and really shouldn't be used. This is all just for fun.
Target triple:
$ rustup default
stable-x86_64-apple-darwin (default)
Rust version:
$ rustup --version
rustup 1.23.1 (3df2264a9 2020-11-30)
info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler.
info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.49.0 (e1884a8e3 2020-12-29)`
Here's the macOS version:
Darwin edwins-mbp.enet.local 13.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.4.0: Mon Jan 11 18:17:34 PST 2016; root:xnu-2422.115.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Here's the minimal test and output:
$ cargo new --bin test_libc
Created binary (application) `test_libc` package
$ cd test_libc/
