Unable to build 9.6 binaries - "Wrong Rust version"

Question

Trying to build 9.6. Running this command -

rm -rf _opam _build  
make build-deps
eval $(opam env)
make

I have set every version of rustc from 1.44.0, 1.52, 1.53... nothing works. I have set an override to then later unset it, but nothing.

I've also clean installed rust/rustup.

Any help would greatly appreciated!

DISCUSSION:
    Rustup installs The Rust Programming Language from the official
    release channels, enabling you to easily switch between stable,
    beta, and nightly compilers and keep them updated. It makes
    cross-compiling simpler with binary builds of the standard library
    for common platforms.

    If you are new to Rust consider running `rustup doc --book` to
    learn Rust. in the past. Run the following command from your
favorite shell, and retry to install the dependencies:
$ rustup override unset
make: *** [build-deps] Error 1
make: dune: No such file or directory
make: *** [all] Error 1

Answer 1

The official guide for v9 release says you need Rust v1.44.0, but the latest guide says v1.52.0.

wget https://sh.rustup.rs/rustup-init.sh
chmod +x rustup-init.sh
./rustup-init.sh --profile minimal --default-toolchain 1.52.0 -y

source $HOME/.cargo/env

Then, download and run:

Answer 2

Ok, I found out the source of my issue is Opam installs a second version of Rust via Homebrew, which is (1.53). When you run make build-deps, it'll use that version and not the version you've set via rustup, so during the setup of Opam, run seperately brew uninstall rust, and that'll remove the 1.53 version.

Next, install Rust from using the command on Rust's website.

Then when prompted choose 2) Custom installation, and skip the first question, set toolchain to 1.44.0, and the skipped the remaining questions.

Then source $HOME/.cargo/env

That correctly setup Rust and Rustup, and I no longer get that error.

You should not use 9.6 It's highly recommended to transition to the 9.7
