Tutorial for hello_world incomplete/buggy #21733
Description
Description
Trying to follow the tutorial at https://guide.riot-os.org/rust_tutorials/create_project/, I stumble about various issues.
- it says to create a directory (hello_world) and change into it, then checkout RIOT. Few steps later, I create a crate, supposedly that directory. Could have been streamlined: create crate, init git, checkout RIOT as submodule.
- Makefile references RIOT a few levels up - doesn't really matter, but poses the question why it was placed in the project directory in the first place (instead of somewhere shared, like this suggests)
- I then should
make info-rust, which complains that the $(RIOTBASE) is a directory(. Stop.)
I don't know what that was supposed to do or if the directory tree is wrong...
Steps to reproduce the issue
Follow the guide.
Expected results
Should lead to a buildable hello world project, so I have a stable base to continue exploring RIOT-OS.
Actual results
Stuck with errors I shouldn't be dealing with.
