This commit fixes some oversights in the Makefile where rustc could be
invoked without some of its dependencies yet in place. (I encountered
the problem in practice; its not just theoretical.)
As written in Makefile.in, $(STAGE$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)) is the way one
writes an invocation of rustc where $(1) is the stage number $(2) is
the target triple $(3) is the host triple. (Other uses of the macro
may plug in actual values or different parameters in for those three
formal parameters.)
When you have invocations of $(STAGE...), you need to make sure that
its dependences are satisfied; otherwise, if someone is using `make
-jN` for certain (large-ish) `N`, one can encounter situations where
GNU make attempts to invoke `rustc` before it has actually copied some
of its libraries into place, such as libmorestack.a, which causes a
link failure when the rustc invocation attempts to link in those
libraries.
In this case, the main prerequisite to add is TSREQ$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3),
which is described in Makefile.in as "Prerequisites for using the
stageN compiler to build target artifacts"
----
In addition to adding the extra dependences on TSREQ..., I also
replaced occurrences of the pattern:
TSREQ$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)
$$(TLIB$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3))/$(CFG_STDLIB_$(2))
$$(TLIB$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3))/$(CFG_EXTRALIB_$(2))
with:
SREQ$(1)_T_$(2)_H_$(3)
which is equivalent to the above, as defined in Makefile.in
----
Finally, for the cases where TSREQ was missing in tests.mk, I went
ahead and put in a dependence on SREQ rather than just TSREQ, since it
was not clear to me how one could expect to compile those cases
without stdlib and extralib.
(It could well be that I should have gone ahead and done the same in
other cases where I saw TSREQ was missing, and put SREQ in those
cases as well. But this seemed like a good measure for now, without
needing to tax my understanding of the overall makefile
infrastructure much further.)

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-0.7.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.7
$ ./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.
