Introduction
I was finally able to build Firefox successfully on Ubuntu, which took me about one night to do.
This document will discuss the build requirements such as hardware and software that I needed in order to build Firefox successfully. I will then focus on the steps that took me to fully complete the build and any problems that I encountered along the way. I will end it off with some useful resources that I found and used throughout the process of the build and then talk about my experience with my first open source build.
Build
Hardware
Intel Pentium 3 Processor 450 Mhz 256 MB RAM 40 Gigabyte Hard Drive Ubuntu
Software
Before I could install any packages or libraries I had to install build-essential, which is the synaptic package manager (i.e. Library Manager). Once I got this installed I looked at Linux Build Prerequisites to find out which libraries I needed. The following are a list of the libraries that I installed.
- CVS
- GTK (2.0)
- Libxt-dev
- Libidl-dev
- Make
