Alex Crichton f09592a5d1 io: Implement process wait timeouts This implements set_timeout() for std::io::Process which will affect wait() operations on the process. This follows the same pattern as the rest of the timeouts emerging in std::io::net. The implementation was super easy for everything except libnative on unix (backwards from usual!), which required a good bit of signal handling. There's a doc comment explaining the strategy in libnative. Internally, this also required refactoring the "helper thread" implementation used by libnative to allow for an extra helper thread (not just the timer). This is a breaking change in terms of the io::Process API. It is now possible for wait() to fail, and subsequently wait_with_output(). These two functions now return IoResult<T> due to the fact that they can time out. Additionally, the wait_with_output() function has moved from taking `&mut self` to taking `self`. If a timeout occurs while waiting with output, the semantics are undesirable in almost all cases if attempting to re-wait on the process. Equivalent functionality can still be achieved by dealing with the output handles manually. [breaking-change] cc #13523		2014-05-13 17:27:42 -07:00

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++ 4.7 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
- git
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-nightly
```
Or to build from the repo do:
```
 $ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/rust.git
 $ cd rust
```
Now that you have Rust's source code, you can configure and build it:
```
 $ ./configure
 $ make && make install
```
Note: 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, and rustdoc, the API-documentation tool. 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, 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.
