"non-mechanical" : there was lots more hacking than the other more-mechanical ports Felix did. r? @huonw. (Or @nikomatsakis ; I just want someone to sanity-check this. Its not a thing of beauty.) Followup to #8623. (See #8527, which was step 1 of 5, for the full outline. Part of #7081.) Notes on the change follow. There's also a strange pattern that I hacked in to accommodate the Outer/Inner traversal structure of the existing code (which was previously encoding this by untying the Y-combinator style knot of the vtable, and then retying it but superimposing new methods that "stop at items"). I hope either I or someone else can come back in the future and replace this ugliness with something more natural. Added boilerplate macro; all the OuterLint definitions are the same (but must be abstracted over implementing struct, thus the macro). Revised lint.rs use declarations to make ast references explicit. Also removed unused imports. |

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. -
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.
