Error loading target specification: Could not find specification for target i386-intel-linux

What operating system are you on? Did you remember to install binutils:

*For nix

$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.24.tar.gz
$ tar xf binutils-2.24.tar.gz
$ cd binutils-2.24
$ ./configure --target=i386-elf --disable-werror --prefix=/your/home/directory
$ make && make install

As far as windows is concerned, I can't help you.

I had installed binutils. But I try to install it again. I'm on Mac OS X Yosemite.
Thanks

I had installed binutils. When I try to run it:

That target was renamed recently (about 2 weeks or so ago) to i686-unknown-linux-gnu. Changing that in the Makefile will fix that specific error. (You would also need to apply the changes in pull request #25.)

[letsch323letsch]

rustc -O --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu --crate-type lib -o main.o --emit obj main.rs
error: requires sized lang_item
error: aborting due to previous error
make: *** [main.o] Error 101
is coming now when I change to i686-unknown-linux-gnu.

I restarted the Terminal..then its run!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Thanks Thanks

@letsch323letsch did you apply the changes in pull request #25?

PS: One liner to do that:

curl https://github.com/charliesome/rustboot/pull/25.patch | git apply
