What do you mean? Rust and cargo are in ports so you can just install them.

Yeah, but the whole kernel hasn't been rewritten yet.
And there are probably packages as well if s/he doesn't want to wait a hour or so for rustc to build. This is a bit out of date but still:

It's probably even easier today.

Yeah, you don't need to do that anymore on FreeBSD: we officially distribute x86_64-unknown-freebsd (as tier 2) and i686-unknown-freebsd (as tier 3) versions of std, rustc, and cargo these days: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/getting-started.html#p...
Where can I download cargo for i686-unknown-freebsd ?
https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/index.html is where all the builds are stored. https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rustc-1.11.0-i686-unknown-... should have both the rustc and cargo for 1.11.
It doesnt have cargo there, only rustc. cargo still doesnt build on FreeBSD platforms.
Very strange, I must have opened the wrong one. I thought I saw it? I wonder why the docs are wrong here, then...
Only on amd64.
