When running rusti 32-bit tests from a 64-bit host, these errors came up frequently. My best idea as to what was happening is: 1. First, if you hash the same `int` value on 32-bit and 64-bit, you will get two different hashes. 2. In a cross-compile situation, let's say x86_64 is building an i686 library, all of the hashes will be 64-bit hashes. 3. Then let's say you use the i686 libraries and then attempt to link against the same i686 libraries, because you're calculating hashes with a 32-bit int instead of a 64-bit one, you'll have different hashes and you won't be able to find items in the metadata (the items were generated with a 64-bit int). This patch changes the items to always be hashed as an `i64` to preserve the hash value across architectures. Here's a nice before/after for this patch of the state of rusti tests ``` host target before after 64 64 yes yes 64 32 no no (llvm assertion) 32 64 no yes 32 32 no no (llvm assertion) ``` Basically one case started working, but currently when the target is 32-bit LLVM is having a lot of problems generating code. That's another separate issue though.
The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Quick Start
Windows
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.
Linux / OS X
-
Install the prerequisites (if not already installed)
- 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
-
Download and build Rust You can either download a tarball or build directly from the repo.
To build from the tarball do:
$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.7.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz $ cd rust-0.7Or to build from the repo do:
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git $ cd rustNow that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:
$ ./configure $ make && make installYou may need to use
sudo make installif you do not normally have permission to modify the destination directory. The install locations can be adjusted by passing a--prefixargument toconfigure. Various other options are also supported, pass--helpfor more information on them.When complete,
make installwill place several programs into/usr/local/bin:rustc, the Rust compiler;rustdoc, the API-documentation tool, andrustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system. -

Enjoy!
Notes
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.
Rust currently needs about 1.8G of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is lots more documentation in the wiki.
