Giving servo a try (pulled from github this morning), but run into this build error:

I seem to be the one linux user with a build error (other open issues are on OS X) so I must be doing something wrong. Where can I find more detailed build logs or get a more verbose build output?

Huh, how is CC=ccache gcc AR=ar supposed to work?

[jdm]

Oh, your CC is ccache gcc, which messes up when it hits https://github.com/servo/libfreetype2/blob/master/makefile.cargo#L32 .

[roblatham00]

Thanks for noticing that. it's supposed to work by treating 'ccache gcc' as the compiler, but the white space catches more than a few build systems.

[roblatham00]

should be

cd $(OUT_DIR) && CC="$(CC)" AR="$(AR)" $(SRC_DIR)/configure $(strip $(CONFIGURE_FLAGS))

[jdm]

Good point. Can you make a pull request for that?
