A +slackbuild for it is also available on slackbuilds.org. + +For stability against rust's 6 week release cycle, mrustc is frozen to support +building rust 1.19.0 from source. Once this is done, you can use this rust to +continue building each successive rust version until you get to the most recent +one. + +Here is a rough guide to bootstrap rust completely from source: + +* Build and install mrustc (from slackbuilds.org). You now have a fully + functional rust 1.19.0. +* Now build for rust 1.20.0, 1.21.0, 1.22.1, 1.23.0, 1.24.1, and finally + 1.25.0. + +This slackbuild is currently compatible with each of those versions. +Since we are building completely from source, you only need the source +tarball of each version and not all the other binary files listed in +rust.info.

Then build the next version and upgrade rust with the +result and carry on until you have built the final version. + +Additionally, I currently have a shell script which automates this whole +process to end up with the current rust package version: + +https://github.com/aclemons/slack-rust-bootstrap |
