Add instructions for rustbook build via mirror #13
Conversation
Replaces old instructions of compiling rustc from scratch.
I gave these instruction specifically because it didn't work on my mac. Have you built rustc on your machine before? |
Would it be better if I added both sets of instructions to the readme then? |
I'll try to use steve's fork again first... |
Yeah I just get
As usual. Maybe it's because I do build the compiler or maybe it's because I use multirust. shrug |
I'm running multirust as well (multirust 0.0.6 (6b18101d0 2015-04-30 14:40:11 -0700), so I don't think that's the issue. |
👍 |
I have a sneaking suspicion it's because you and @steveklabnik use Linux -- but also dynamic linking is just dumb and butts. |
Ready to go. Also, yes, dynamic linking has bitten me way too many times. |
Can you add |
Whoops, didn't notice you did the fix I requested (github doesn't notify about pushes). Thanks a bunch! |
Add instructions for rustbook build via mirror
Replaces old instructions of compiling rustc from scratch.
Instead of compiling rustc, I've found a mirror of the rustbook code.
Both rustbook and the book compile without problems on my Linux box:
Arch Linux x86_64 (kernel 4.1.3-1-ARCH)
rustc 1.3.0-nightly (4dfe7a16c 2015-07-30)
cargo 0.4.0-nightly (e0a82d6 2015-07-29) (built 2015-07-30)
I'm fairly certain most people will want to avoid bootstrapping the entire rustc compiler if the mirror works just as well.
