Large topics: * Implemented `rt::io::net::unix`. We've got an implementation backed by "named pipes" for windows for free from libuv, so I'm not sure if these should be `cfg(unix)` or whether they'd be better placed in `rt::io::pipe` (which is currently kinda useless), or to leave in `unix`. Regardless, we probably shouldn't deny windows of functionality which it certainly has. * Fully implemented `net::addrinfo`, or at least fully implemented in the sense of making the best attempt to wrap libuv's `getaddrinfo` api * Moved standard I/O to a libuv TTY instead of just a plain old file descriptor. I found that this interacted better when closing stdin, and it has the added bonus of getting things like terminal dimentions (someone should make a progress bar now!) * Migrate to `~Trait` instead of a typedef'd object where possible. There are only two more types which are blocked on this, and those are traits which have a method which takes by-value self (there's an open issue on this) * Drop `rt::io::support::PathLike` in favor of just `ToCStr`. We recently had a lot of Path work done, but it still wasn't getting passed down to libuv (there was an intermediate string conversion), and this allows true paths to work all the way down to libuv (and anything else that can become a C string). * Removes `extra::fileinput` and `extra::io_util` Closes #9895 Closes #9975 Closes #8330 Closes #6850 (ported lots of libraries away from std::io) cc #4248 (implemented unix/dns) cc #9128 (made everything truly trait objects)
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-0.8.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-0.8.tar.gz $ cd rust-0.8Or 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. -
Read the tutorial.

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.
