Is there a Rust build for aarch64-linux-android?

Issue

Recently I got a new smartphone with fairly beefy specs, so wanting to play around with Rust on the go I installed Termux and tried to rustup-init. However, this fails:

info: syncing channel updates for 'stable-aarch64-linux-android'
info: latest update on 2017-08-31, rust version 1.20.0 (f3d6973f4 2017-08-27)
error: target not found: 'aarch64-linux-android'

Is there another way to get a Rust environment on android?

Solution

Sadly rustup won't work on android.

You can manage to install cargo and rustc using Termux "its-pointless (live_the_dream)" community repository.

Also if you have rustup already installed, rm .cargo will remove the stub (which otherwise interferes with calling cargo or rustc).
