This FAQ will cover transient build errors. If you have a build error that isn't discussed here or doesn't have an issue, feel free to submit one or ping us in #servo.

Compiling mozjs_sys error

  • Error includes:
  • Failed to run custom build command for mozjs_sys
  • too many levels of symbolic links
  • What does it mean?
  • There was a Spidermonkey upgrade and previous build directories are incompatible
  • How do I fix it?
  • Remove the directory $rm -rf target/{debug,release}/build/mozjs*

A linking error that looks like it might come from angle

  • Are you using Xcode 8?
    • Servo doesn't currently work on Xcode 8 (@nox is investigating)
    • Switch to Xcode 7 xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/
    • Alternatively, figure out how to make it build and submit an issue/PR
  • Otherwise, ping us
