### Installing Rust
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source build
|
||
|
|
=========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Rust compiler is slightly unusual in that it is written in Rust and
|
||
|
|
therefore must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in
|
||
|
|
an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You are connected to the internet, to fetch snapshots.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* You can at least execute snapshot binaries of one of the forms we offer
|
||
|
|
them in. Currently we build and test snapshots on:
|
||
|
|
* Windows (7, server 2008 r2) x86 only
|
||
|
|
* Linux 2.6.x (various distributions) x86 and x86-64
|
||
|
|
* OSX 10.6 ("Snow leopard") or 10.7 ("Lion") x86 and x86-64
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may find other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build
|
||
|
|
environments that are most likely to work. Further platforms will be added to
|
||
|
|
the list in the future via cross-compilation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* g++ 4.4 or clang++ 3.x
|
||
|
|
* python 2.6 or later
|
||
|
|
* perl 5.0 or later
|
||
|
|
* gnu make 3.81 or later
|
||
|
|
* curl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building and installing
|
||
|
|
=========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming you're on a relatively modern Linux/OSX system and have met the
|
||
|
|
prerequisites, something along these lines should work:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ tar -xzf rust-0.1.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
$ cd rust-0.1
|
||
|
|
$ ./configure
|
||
|
|
$ make && make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When complete, make install will place the following programs into
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/bin:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* rustc, the Rust compiler
|
||
|
|
* rustdoc, the API-documentation tool
|
||
|
|
* cargo, the Rust package manager
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to a manual page under /usr/local/share/man and a set of host and
|
||
|
|
target libraries under /usr/local/lib/rustc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The install locations can be adjusted by passing a --prefix argument to
|
||
|
|
configure. Various other options are also supported, pass --help for more
|
||
|
|
information on them.
|
||
|
