Summary
|
||
|
||
I've completed a comprehensive bootstrap compiler documentation suite answering all your questions about how Rust's bootstrap
|
||
compiler enables our one-command installation. Here's what was created:
|
||
|
||
📚 Documentation Created (4 Files)
|
||
|
||
1. BOOTSTRAP_EXPLAINED.md (6.3 KB)
|
||
- Complete technical explanation of the bootstrap problem and solution
|
||
- Why only Rust is pre-compiled (not NuShell, Just, or workspace binaries)
|
||
- How architecture detection works automatically
|
||
- 6 FAQ answers with detailed responses
|
||
2. BOOTSTRAP_DIAGRAMS.md (8.5 KB)
|
||
- 12 ASCII diagrams showing the complete picture
|
||
- Installation timeline with timestamps
|
||

|
||
- Comparison of 3 installation approaches
|
||
3. INSTALLATION_QUICK_REFERENCE.md (8.1 KB)
|
||
- Practical quick-start guide for end users
|
||
- Troubleshooting 6 common issues
|
||
- Installation timing breakdown
|
||

|
||
4. Updated README.md
|
||
- New "How It Works: Bootstrap Compiler" section
|
||
- "Installation & Bootstrap" documentation section
|
||
- Links to all bootstrap documentation
|
||
|
||
🎯 Key Concepts Explained
|
||
|
||
- The Problem: Rust is written in Rust → can't compile Rust without rustc → circular dependency
|
||
- The Solution: Download pre-compiled rustc, use it to compile everything else
|
||
- The Architecture: Only rustc is pre-compiled (100MB); everything else from source
|
||
- The Result: Fast installation (15-30 min), small repo (~500MB), zero maintenance
|
||
|
