Rust in Action
by T. S McNamara (2021)
We started with the MEAP. Now it’s published. The epub version still seems to be a MEAP. The PDF version looks final, and the PDF version is the one we’re using now as the definitive version.
Tuesday evenings - 7:00 pm pacific time

Note on Chapter 11
To get the code to run this week, I found that I needed to add some steps.
I made a fresh github clone, moved to the ch11/ch11-fledgeos-0 folder, changed the Cargo.toml x86_64 = "0.14", deleted the target folder (if I’d been mucking around), deleted the Cargo.lock, then ran cargo +nightly build and then cargo +nightly run. This worked for fledgeos-1, fledgeos-3, and fledgeos-4, too, but not for fledgos-2.
For fledgeos-2, one must also change the Cargo.toml version for bootloader -
bootloader = "0.9"
and also replace the last lines with
[package.metadata.bootimage]
build-command = ["build"]
run-command = ["qemu-system-x86_64", "-drive", "format=raw,file={}"]
