These fonts were moved into place by rust's makefiles, but rustdoc is widely used outside of rustc itself. This moves the fonts into the rustdoc binary, similarly to the other static assets, and writes them to the output location whenever rustdoc generates documentation. Closes #13593 Closes #13787 |

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.xpython
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 toconfigure
. 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, andrustdoc
, 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.
