This closes #4364. I came into rust after modes had begun to be phased out, so I'm not exactly sure what they all did. My strategy was basically to turn on the compilation warnings and then when everything compiles and passes all the tests it's all good. In most cases, I just dropped the mode, but in others I converted things to use `&` pointers when otherwise a move would happen. This depends on #5963. When running the tests, everything passed except for a few compile-fail tests. These tests leaked memory, causing the task to abort differently. By suppressing the ICE from #5963, no leaks happen and the tests all pass. I would have looked into where the leaks were coming from, but I wasn't sure where or how to debug them (I found `RUSTRT_TRACK_ALLOCATIONS`, but it wasn't all that useful). |

The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Installation
The Rust compiler currently must be built from a tarball, unless you are on Windows, in which case using the installer is recommended.
Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require a connection to the Internet, to fetch snapshots, and an OS that can execute the available snapshot binaries.
Snapshot binaries are currently built and tested on several platforms:
- Windows (7, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
- Linux (various distributions), x86 and x86-64
- OSX 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") or greater, x86 and x86-64
You may find that other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build environments that are most likely to work.
Note: Windows users should read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki. Even when using the binary installer the Windows build requires a MinGW installation, the precise details of which are not discussed here.
To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:
- g++ 4.4 or clang++ 3.x
- python 2.6 or later (but not 3.x)
- perl 5.0 or later
- gnu make 3.81 or later
- curl
Assuming you're on a relatively modern *nix system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work.
$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.6.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.6.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.6
$ ./configure
$ make && make install
You may need to use sudo make install if you do not normally have
permission to modify the destination directory. 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.
When complete, make install will place several programs into
/usr/local/bin: rustc, the Rust compiler; rustdoc, the
API-documentation tool, and rustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system.
