Alex Crichton 0863469c8b Always build libraries into the same location
Previously Cargo would compile a library into a different location depending on
whether it was the "root crate" or not. In the ongoing saga of reducing Cargo's
reliance on the idea of a "root crate" this PR is the next step. With workspaces
the root crate of a compliation changes all the time, so the output needs to be
the same whether a crate is at the root or not.

Fixing this inconsistence in turn fixes bugs like #2855 and #2897 which arise
due to this discrepancy. Additionally, Cargo will no longer recompile a library
when it's used as a "root crate" or not.

This is fixed by taking a few steps:

* Everything is now compiled into the `deps` directory, regardless of whether
  it's a root output or not.
* If a "root crate" is being compiled, then the relevant outputs are hard-linked
  up one level to where they are today. This means that your binaries, dylibs,
  staticlibs, etc, will all show up where they used to.
* The `-C metadata` flag is always omitted for path dependencies now. These
  dependencies are always path dependencies and already all have unique crate
  names. Additionally, they're the only crates in the DAG without metadata, so
  there's no need to provide additional metadata. This in turn means that none
  of the file names of the generated crates are mangled.

Closes #2855

Installing Cargo

Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.

If, however, you would like to install Cargo from the nightly binaries that are generated, you may also do so! Note that these nightlies are not official binaries, so they are only provided in one format with one installation method. Each tarball below contains a top-level install.sh script to install Cargo.

Note that if you're on Windows you will have to run the install.sh script from inside an MSYS shell, likely from a MinGW-64 installation.

Compiling from Source

Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:

  • python
  • curl (on Unix)
  • cmake
  • OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the libssl-dev package on ubuntu)

First, you'll want to check out this repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo

If you already have rustc and cargo installed elsewhere, you can simply run

cargo build --release

Otherwise, if you have rustc installed and not Cargo, you can simply run:

./configure
make
make install

If, however, you have neither rustc nor cargo previously installed you can run:

python -B src/etc/install-deps.py
./configure --local-rust-root="$PWD"/rustc
make
make install

Note: if building for 32 bit systems run BITS=32 python -B ..

More options can be discovered through ./configure, such as compiling cargo for more than one target. For example, if you'd like to compile both 32 and 64 bit versions of cargo on unix you would use:

$ ./configure --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu,x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Adding new subcommands to Cargo

Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.

Contributing to the Docs

To contribute to the docs, all you need to do is change the markdown files in the src/doc directory. To view the rendered version of changes you have made locally, run:

./configure
make doc
open target/doc/index.html

Release notes

High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes.
