You can control this behavior by customizing the servobuild file. See https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/servobuild.example#L16-L24 for the relevant area. Instructions are at the top of the file. Note that you will not be able to build with 1.8.0 since we depend on many features available only in nightly. You can see which nightly we download by looking at the date in https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/rust-nightly-date (currently 2016-05-07). It may work with slightly newer or older nightlies as well. I suspect the reason you can't download the nightly is that the platform detection code is returning "unknown" for your processor. You might consider filing a bug for that. What target triple do you normally use? jack. _______________________________________________ dev-servo mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-servo
