Hello everyone,
I am an aspiring programmer and I want to learn Rust. GNOME Builder seems like an excellent development environment, but I haven’t been able to configure it to compile, run, clean, and debug using a few icons, menus, or shortcuts in the interface.
The most I have been able to do is select the “Run Command” option and execute cargo run. This compiles and runs correctly, but I cannot perform a clean operation except from the terminal. More importantly, I cannot debug properly, and when it stops at breakpoints it seems to stop in assembly code, and I am not sure if it corresponds to my program.
I would really appreciate any help from anyone willing to offer it, if this is even possible. I have already tried getting help from an AI, but I only end up wasting time.
I am using Gentoo, and my version is GNOME Builder (checked with eix gnome-builder):
[I] dev-util/gnome-builder
Available versions: 48.2-r2 ...
On another note, I regret that VSCodium has become the “king” of programming in the GNU world for beginners. GNOME seems to me, with extensions, without a doubt the best desktop environment. In my opinion, if more people started with GNOME Builder in any language, there would be more contributions.
If there is no other solution, I would like to download it from git and try to adapt it myself, but my knowledge is very limited—I only know some C++/Qt, and nothing about GTK or gtkmm.
Many thanks in advance.
