Embedding Servo

This repository showcases the basic setup for compiling servo as dependency in another rust project.

• Option 1: Using libsimpleservo
• Option 2: Using libservo

Option 1: Using libsimpleservo

To use libsimpleservo, the following steps assumes that you already have Servo project built locally. If not, please check out the Servo repository for instructions on how to set it up locally.

Steps:

1. Clone this project
2. Delete the cargo.lock file and the rust-toolchain file in your local servo-embedding project.
3. Copy the cargo.lock file and the rust-toolchain file from the Servo repository and paste them into your local servo-embedding project

Option 2: Using libservo

Steps:

1. Clone this project

2. In Cargo.toml file, under [dependencies] delete the simpleservo line(L9) and add:

   libservo = {git = "https://github.com/servo/servo", rev="XXXXXXX", features = ["media-gstreamer"]}
   

   Note: you will need to get the latest rev from servo repository

3. Delete the cargo.lock file and the rust-toolchain file in your local servo-embedding project.

4. Copy the cargo.lock file and the rust-toolchain file from the Servo repository and paste them into your local servo-embedding project

5. Replace the code in main.rs file with following:

   extern crate servo;
   
   fn main() {
       // do something
   }
   

Building and running locally:

To build:

cargo build --release

To run:

cargo run --release
