- Problems:
- Windows SDK configuration
- Needed to upgrade to Framework 4 and SDK 7
I followed the instructions on annasob's blog on how to build firefox on different platforms, also took a look at Build instructions @ developer.mozilla.org.
First, I tried to build firefox on Vista:
- Intel(R) Processor D CPU 3.20 GHz
- 2GB DDR2 memory
- Windows Vista 32bit
- Visual Studio 2010
and this was my .mozconfig:
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfigmk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir-ff-releasemk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j2"mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
ac_add_options --enable-application=browserac_add_options --disable-optimizeac_add_options --enable-debug
Then I started to build it on Windows 7:
- Intel(R) Processor D CPU 3.20 GHz
- 4GB DDR2 memory
- Windows 7 64bit
- Visual Studio 2008
I tried to build based on the same .mozconfig file, but the first error I got was related to SDK. I needed to upgrade SDK version based on theserecommendations to SDK 7, and then change the SDK version in the SDK configuration tool.
At the end, the build was successfully done after 2 hours on Win 7 and on Vista it's not completed yet after almost 4 hours!
