Subject: [PATCH] docs: rust: quick-start: add Ubuntu
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 16:06:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240925140600.275429-1-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
Ubuntu has changed their maintenance model for Rust toolchains and is
now providing recent Rust releases in their releases, including both
LTS and non-LTS (interim) releases.
Therefore, add instructions to the Quick Start guide for Ubuntu, like
it is done for the other distributions.

RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240816181545.45789-1-ojeda@kernel.org/
Compared to the RFC, Ubuntu now provides the versioned `rustc-*`
packages in older LTSs (the ones with standard support), which is great!
I can confirm I can build the latest kernel in 20.04 LTS (using a
newer LLVM), 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS and 24.10.
The `bindgen-*` versioned packages are not backported (yet?) to the
older LTSs, so I added a note about that compared to the RFC patch.

+Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS (interim) releases provide recent Rust releases and thus
+they should generally work out of the box, e.g.::
+
+ apt install rustc-1.80 rust-1.80-src bindgen-0.65 rustfmt-1.80 rust-1.80-clippy
+
+``RUST_LIB_SRC`` needs to be set when using the versioned packages, e.g.::
+
+ RUST_LIB_SRC=/usr/src/rustc-$(rustc-1.80 --version | cut -d' ' -f2)/library
+
+In addition, ``bindgen-0.65`` is available in newer releases (24.04 LTS and
+24.10), but it may not be available in older ones (20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS),
+thus ``bindgen`` may need to be built manually (please see below).
