should document that pyobjc needs to be installed as well.

At least on a fresh install, found out that in order to compile, you need to install pyobjc for the dev version:

pip install -U pyobjc

[KiChjang]

Just to be sure, what steps have you taken to compile?

@nhirata Is this based on the message at the end of a build on OS X that says that notifications can't be displayed without installing pyobjc?

[nhirata]

The steps I took were using the brew path on Mac 10.10.5:

1. brew install automake pkg-config python cmake
2. pip install virtualenv
3. git clone https://github.com/servo/servo
4. cd servo
5. ./mach build --dev
6. ./mach run tests/html/about-mozilla.html

Is there any other steps I missed from the front page of installing? Or is there a different page I should be referring to?

Yes, jdm, there was an error similar to the one stating gtk-doc was missing. (see below).

Also to note : gtk-doc was also missing.
Error message :
" You will not be able to create source packages with 'make dist'
because gtk-doc >= 1.15 is not found."

Resolution : brew install gtk-doc

To note, after following the above and fixing my link issue with autoconf, I was able to successfully build.

[jdm]

@nhirata So what in those steps suggested that pyobjc is necessary?

[nhirata]

Oh. hrm. Maybe it's not necessary; it's needed for notification. I see that in that error you pointed me to.

Regardless, I installed both, made sure to relink my autoconf using brew link ( brew link -f autoconf ) and I was able to compile.

I had to run the following to ensure I could build/install.

  brew install homebrew/versions/autoconf213
  install xcode
  sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
  pip install -U pyobjc

From what I can tell, there's no actionable item here, so I'm going to close this. pyobjc is not required to run Servo.
