The path to ``rustc`` and ``rustdoc`` must be provided manually to the configure script. + Some distros prefer to avoid vendored crate sources, and instead use + local sources from e.g. ``/usr/share/cargo/registry``. QEMU includes a + script, ``scripts/get-wraps-from-cargo-registry.py``, that automatically + performs this task. The script is meant to be invoked after unpacking + the QEMU tarball. QEMU also includes ``rust/Cargo.toml`` and + ``rust/Cargo.lock`` files that can be used to compute QEMU's build + dependencies, e.g. using ``cargo2rpm -p rust/Cargo.toml buildrequires``. + Optional build dependencies Build components whose absence does not affect the ability to build QEMU may not be available in distros, or may be too old for our requirements. |
