This update brings a few months of changes, but primarily a fix for the following situation. When creating a handle to stdin, libuv used to set the stdin handle to nonblocking mode. This would end up affect this stdin handle across all processes that shared it, which mean that stdin become nonblocking for everyone using the same stdin. On linux, this also affected *stdout* because stdin/stdout roughly point at the same thing. This problem became apparent when running the test suite manually on a local computer. The stdtest suite (running with libgreen) would set stdout to nonblocking mode (as described above), and then the next test suite would always fail for a printing failure (because stdout was returning EAGAIN). This has been fixed upstream, joyent/libuv@342e8c, and this update pulls in this fix. This also brings us in line with a recently upstreamed libuv patch. Closes #13336 Closes #13355
The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Quick Start
- Download a binary installer for your platform.
- Read the tutorial.
- Enjoy!
Note: Windows users can read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki.
Building from Source
-
Make sure you have installed the dependencies:
g++4.4 orclang++3.xpython2.6 or later (but not 3.x)perl5.0 or later- GNU
make3.81 or later curlgit
-
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-nightly.tar.gz $ tar -xzf rust-nightly.tar.gz $ cd rust-nightlyOr 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 installNote: You 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, andrustdoc, the API-documentation tool. system. -

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, 8, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
- Linux (2.6.18 or later, various distributions), x86 and x86-64
- OSX 10.7 (Lion) or greater, x86 and x86-64
You may find that other platforms work, but these are our officially supported build environments that are most likely to work.
Rust currently needs about 1.5 GiB of RAM to build without swapping; if it hits swap, it will take a very long time to build.
There is a lot more documentation in the wiki.
