How to build on Mac and other platforms?

[corliss]

Hello, the README has instructions for building libservobridge.so on Android, but not for the other platforms. I'm trying to build for Mac, iOS and UWP but don't know how. Would really appreciate some information about this - the README is the perfect place for it.

Just FYI, I've taken a couple of days off to get into this in my spare (vacation) time so a timely answer would really help :)

Thanks!

I was able to get the Mac version to build by:

• Installing cmake with brew install cmake
• Installing openssl with brew install openssl
• Installing yasm with brew install yasm
• Building the Mac version of libservobridge with cargo build --target x86_64-apple-darwin. This took around 20 minutes to complete
• Creating a symlink from rust/target/x86_64-apple-darwin/debug/libservobridge.dylib to xamarin/Servofocus.Mac/lib/libservobridge.dylib
• Building and running the ServoFocus.Mac app in Visual Studio for Mac.

At this point, the mac app runs, and the initial screen appears. However when I enter a URL and press enter, nothing happens. I've verified that _servo.LoadUrl(url) is getting called in MainViewModel.cs. Will continue to dig further, but do you have any idea what the issue might be?

Hi,

I'm trying to build for Mac, iOS and UWP but don't know how.

iOS and UWP are not currently supported.

However when I enter a URL and press enter, nothing happens. Will continue to dig further, but do you have any idea what the issue might be?

Any logs from servo? Some webpages can have issues displaying, try duckduckgo or servo.org.

@mfkl, here's the stderr.log. There seem to be a few relevant errors. Any advice?
Thanks!

Hmm, yeah the issue is that, for now, Servo will looks for its resources directory in /tmp/resources. Just copy https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/master/resources in /tmp.
