The script crate currently has a build script, and Cargo will consider all files in the script crate as inputs to the build script as it otherwise doesn't know [what the input files are][cargo-1162]. This means that if any file in the source tree of the script crate changes (or is created) then Cargo will think it needs to re-run the build script and rebuild the crate. [cargo-1162]: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1162 The build script of the script crate is invoking python, and consequently Python is generating some bytecode files in the source tree. On the second build of Servo, Cargo will see these new files, think that something has changed, and will re-run the build script of the script crate. This change passes the `-B` flag to python to avoid generating these bytecode files, which should avoid tampering with the source tree and appease Cargo by ensuring that it doesn't get rebuilt. --- As a helpful tip to if this comes up again, this was discovered by using the changes in rust-lang/cargo@c447e9d plus the change in rust-lang/cargo#2044. Once `RUST_LOG` was set to `cargo::ops::cargo_rustc::fingerprint=info`, the second run of `./mach build` printed out: ``` precalculated components have changed: 1444364448.000000000s (/build/servo/components/script/dom/bindings/codegen/parser/WebIDL.pyc) != 1444364235.000000000s (/build/servo/components/script/document_loader.rs) ``` Which should help easily diagnose these kinds of problems in the future! |

The Servo Parallel Browser Project
Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the Rust language. It is currently developed on 64bit OS X, 64bit Linux, Android, and Gonk (Firefox OS).
Servo welcomes contribution from everyone. See
CONTRIBUTING.md
for help getting started.
Prerequisites
On OS X (homebrew):
brew install automake pkg-config python cmake
pip install virtualenv
On OS X (MacPorts):
sudo port install python27 py27-virtualenv cmake
On Debian-based Linuxes:
sudo apt-get install curl freeglut3-dev \
libfreetype6-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libglib2.0-dev xorg-dev \
gperf g++ cmake python-virtualenv python-pip \
libssl-dev libbz2-dev libosmesa6-dev libxmu6 libxmu-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
If you are on Ubuntu 14.04 and encountered errors on installing these dependencies involving libcheese
, see #6158 for a workaround.
On Fedora:
sudo dnf install curl freeglut-devel libtool gcc-c++ libXi-devel \
freetype-devel mesa-libGL-devel glib2-devel libX11-devel libXrandr-devel gperf \
fontconfig-devel cabextract ttmkfdir python python-virtualenv python-pip expat-devel \
rpm-build openssl-devel cmake bzip2-devel libXcursor-devel libXmu-devel mesa-libOSMesa-devel
On Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git python2 python2-virtualenv python2-pip mesa cmake bzip2 libxmu
On Gentoo Linux:
sudo emerge net-misc/curl media-libs/freeglut \
media-libs/freetype media-libs/mesa dev-util/gperf \
dev-python/virtualenv dev-python/pip dev-libs/openssl \
x11-libs/libXmu media-libs/glu x11-base/xorg-server
Cross-compilation for Android:
Pre-installed Android tools are needed. See wiki for details
Using Virtualbox:
If you're running servo on a guest machine, make sure 3D Acceleration is switched off (#5643)
The Rust compiler
Servo's build system automatically downloads a snapshot Rust compiler to build itself.
This is normally a specific revision of Rust upstream, but sometimes has a
backported patch or two.
If you'd like to know the snapshot revision of Rust which we use, see
rust-snapshot-hash
.
Building
Servo is built with Cargo, the Rust package manager. We also use Mozilla's Mach tools to orchestrate the build and other tasks.
Normal build
To build Servo in development mode. This is useful for development, but the resulting binary is very slow.
git clone https://github.com/servo/servo
cd servo
./mach build --dev
./mach run tests/html/about-mozilla.html
For benchmarking, performance testing, or
real-world use, add the --release
flag to create an optimized build:
./mach build --release
./mach run --release tests/html/about-mozilla.html
Building for Android target
git clone https://github.com/servo/servo
cd servo
ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/toolchain ANDROID_NDK=/path/to/ndk PATH=$PATH:/path/to/toolchain/bin ./mach build --android
cd ports/android
ANDROID_SDK=/path/to/sdk make install
Rather than setting the ANDROID_*
environment variables every time, you can
also create a .servobuild
file and then edit it to contain the correct paths
to the Android SDK/NDK tools:
cp servobuild.example .servobuild
# edit .servobuild
Running
Use ./mach run [url]
to run Servo.
Commandline Arguments
-p INTERVAL
turns on the profiler and dumps info to the console everyINTERVAL
seconds-s SIZE
sets the tile size for painting; defaults to 512-z
disables all graphical output; useful for running JS / layout tests
Keyboard Shortcuts

Developing
There are lots of mach commands you can use. You can list them with ./mach --help
.
