Building Firefox
System: AMD Athlon64 3700+ @2.2GHz; 3.25GB RAM; 1.5TB Hard Drive
OS: WindowsXP Media Center SP2
Software: Visual Studio 2008
Step followed in Firefox Build Instructions:
1. Downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows Vista SDK
2. Downloaded and install the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK
3. Downloaded and executed MozillaBuild 1.3 package
4. Executed 'start-msvc9.bat' (since I have Visual Studio 2008)
5. "Clone" the repository using:
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ src cd src
This took me about 15-20 minutes, because it has to download a lot of files
6. Generated a .mozconfig file (I did it in vi):
. $topsrc/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/ff-opt ac_add_options --disable-tests
7. To build use the command:
make -f client.mk build
IT DIDN'T WORK! I received an error about 1 minute in, telling me 'System header oleacc.idl is not available", luckly it gave me a link to a website with the solution. Basically its a bug in the Windows Vista version of the Microsoft platform SDK, which forgot to include the file. The file is for accessibility, and the fix was to use a different SDK, or disable it by adding a command to the .mozconfig file
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
8. Ran the build command again...It worked! 9. Took 35 minutes to build 10. To run I used the command:
ff-opt/dist/bin/firefox -no-remote -profilemanage
BOOM Its up and running!
