Lab 1 - Firefox Build
Resources
Steps
- Check Firefox build prerequisites for the OS you will be using. I was using Windows 7. Windows Prerequisites
- Download the latest MozillaBuild package. This package contains other software that will be needed to successfully build Firefox.
- Install MozillaBuild. Default location is C:\mozilla-build.
- Run the one of the following batch files. In my case I am using visual studio 2010, so I lauched C:\mozilla-build\start-msvc10.bat.
start-msvc8.bat (VS 2005)
start-msvc9.bat (VS 2008)
start-msvc10.bat (VS 2010)
- The batch file will open a command line window. Navigate to the C: directory using the command "cd /c".
- Download the source code for the release version you would like to build. In this case, I downloaded the most recent version. The command "hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/" will copy the most recent version and place it in c/mozilla-central. Navigate into the the directory, "cd mozilla-central".
- Next we must create a .mozconfig file. This file will contain build options that will be used by the make file.
