This is a bit of an interesting upgrade to LLVM. Upstream LLVM has started using C++11 features, so they require a C++11 compiler to build. I've updated all the bots to have a C++11 compiler, and they appear to be building LLVM successfully: * Linux bots - I added gcc/g++ 4.7 (good enough) * Android bots - same as the linux ones * Mac bots - I installed the most recent command line tools for Lion which gives us clang 3.2, but LLVM wouldn't build unless it was explicitly asked to link to `libc++` instead of `libstdc++`. This involved tweaking `mklldeps.py` and the `configure` script to get things to work out * Windows bots - mingw-w64 has gcc 4.8.1 which is sufficient for building LLVM (hurray!) * BSD bots - I updated FreeBSD to 10.0 which brought with it a relevant version of clang. The largest fallout I've seen so far is that the test suite doesn't work at all on FreeBSD 10. We've already stopped gating on FreeBSD due to #13427 (we used to be on freebsd 9), so I don't think this puts us in too bad of a situation. I will continue to attempt to fix FreeBSD and the breakage on there. The LLVM update brings with it all of the recently upstreamed LLVM patches. We only have one local patch now which is just an optimization, and isn't required to use upstream LLVM. I want to maintain compatibility with LLVM 3.3 and 3.4 while we can, and this upgrade is keeping us up to date with the 3.5 release. Once 3.5 is release we will in theory no longer require a bundled LLVM.
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. -

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, 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.
