make build tests not depend on minutiæ of rustc output

This little patch arises from the maelstrom of my purity born of pain.

It's the pain of seeing rust-lang/rust#38103 in its perfect
crystalline beauty waste away on page four of
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulls, waiting, ready, itching to
land, dying with anticipation to bring the light of clearer lint group
error messages to Rust users of all creeds and nations, only for its
promise to be cruelly blocked by the fateful, hateful hand of circular
dependency. For it is written in src/tools/cargotest/main.rs that the
Cargo tests must pass before the PR can receive Appveyor's blessing,
but the Cargo tests could not pass (because they depend on fine
details of the output that the PR is meant to change), and the Cargo
tests could not be changed (because updating the test expectation to
match the proposed new compiler output, would fail with the current
compiler).

The Gordian knot is cut in the bowels of cargotest's very notion of
comparison (of JSON objects) itself, by means of introducing a magic
string literal `"{...}"`, which can server as a wildcard for any JSON
sub-object.

And so it will be for the children, and the children's children, and
unto the 1.17.0 and 1.18.0 releases, that Cargo's build test
expectations will faithfully expect the exact JSON output by Cargo
itself, but the string literal `"{...}"` shall be a token upon the
JSON output by rustc, and when I see `"{...}"`, I will pass over you,
and the failure shall not be upon you.

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial.

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:

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

First, you'll want to check out this repository

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

With cargo already installed, you can simply run:

cargo build --release

Otherwise, you can also use a more traditional approach:

./configure
make
make install

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

Running the tests

To run cargo's tests, use cargo test. If you do not have the cross-compilers installed locally, ignore the cross-compile test failures, or disable them by using CFG_DISABLE_CROSS_TESTS=1 cargo test.

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

Releases

High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases.
