2016-02-13configure: require Python 2.7Robin Kruppe-1/+1
In other words, enforce what was documented in #30626 (and also stop blaming it on LLVM, we have at least one Python script of our own). Also, there is no Python later than 2.7 and there never will be.

2015-12-07README.md - RAM requirement on 32-bit *nixpetevine-1/+1
Running `/usr/bin/time -v make` to build rust (using local llvm) shows the maximum memory usage at 715 megabytes on 32-bit x86 (on arm linux it's even less @ 580M). Reworded according to @brson's input.

2015-10-24Auto merge of #29229 - SingingTree:reflect_28260_in_readme, r=alexcrichtonbors-0/+7
This PR adds a note to the end of the Windows build instructions to reflect the issues detailed in #28260, as well as a work around using older versions of gcc. I've avoided going into detail as I did not wish to bloat the README, and so that the changes are easy to yank once the issue is resolved.

2015-08-28Update README.mdJake Shadle-1/+1
Use suggested composite command instead of 2 separate commands.
2015-08-28Update README.mdJake Shadle-16/+3
Folded in suggestion from @brson to simply put the mirror update step in the regular set of tool chain install commands.
2015-08-27Update README.mdJake Shadle-0/+16
Encountered an issue going through the guide for installing the `mingw` toolchain on Windows with msys2, after some googling I found the [solution](https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/163#issuecomment-73555971) and thought it would be good to update the README so people don't get frustrated. :)

A minor change to avoid making the reader think 'where is this'.

Just a hint.
2015-02-18Simplify README by not talking about the source tarball optionBrian Anderson-15/+4
I believe that few enough people build from source tarballs that we don't have to talk about it explicitly.
2015-02-16CONTRIBUTING.md reduxSteve Klabnik-3/+6
This redux of CONTRIBUTING.md adds in more information, including subsuming both compliment-bugreport.md and Note-development-policy in the wiki. I only glanced at the broad TOC of Note-development-policy, and did not use the text as the basis for the re-write. This will then address the last outstanding part of #5831.
2015-02-12Remove some irrelevant text from READMEBrian Anderson-3/+0
The quick start already links to the book. I think its not necessary to do in the build instructions.

2015-01-21Auto merge of #21242 - richo:no-perl, r=brsonbors-1/+0
There's only one build-critical path in which perl is used, and it was to do a text replacement trivially achievable with sed(1). I ported the indenter script because it [appears to be used][indenter], but removed check links because it appears to be entirely out of date. [indenter]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/librustc/util/common.rs#L60-70

This is much more helpful.
2015-01-08"The Rust Programming Language"Steve Klabnik-4/+4
This pulls all of our long-form documentation into a single document, nicknamed "the book" and formally titled "The Rust Programming Language." A few things motivated this change: * People knew of The Guide, but not the individual Guides. This merges them together, helping discoverability. * You can get all of Rust's longform documentation in one place, which is nice. * We now have rustbook in-tree, which can generate this kind of documentation. While its style is basic, the general idea is much better: a table of contents on the left-hand side. * Rather than a almost 10,000-line guide.md, there are now smaller files per section.
