Add a note about rustflags compatibility. Over time, Cargo occasionally starts issuing new flags that may conflict with flags the user is passing directly to the compiler. Some recent examples are `-C embed-bitcode` (which broke anyone passing `-Clto` manually), and `-C prefer-dynamic` (which is kind of a mess). Future conflicts might be things like `--remap-path-prefix` or `--extern-html-root-url` (for rustdoc). This adds a note to mention these potential conflicts. Although we try to maintain backwards compatibility as much as possible throughout all of Cargo, this particular area I think is dangerous enough that it is prudent to have some kind of warning somewhere. It is very rare that conflicts arise in practice, but they can happen. I also added a note about passing in flags that Cargo itself issues, which can cause problems. Closes #9358. |

Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
Learn more at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/
Code Status
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
Installing Cargo
Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed
locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.
Compiling from Source
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
gitcurl(on Unix)pkg-config(on Unix, used to figure out thelibsslheaders/libraries)- OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the
libssl-devpackage on ubuntu) cargoandrustc
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
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.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
