FIREFOX

My works on firefox stuff

1. Firefox Build

For building firefox I followed the instructions on annasob's blogon how to build firefox on different platforms, also looked at build instructions and prerequisites @Mozilla Developing Center(MDC). I didn't figure out why it was so slow though on both Vista and Win 7.

First, I tried to build firefox on Vista:

Intel(R) Processor D CPU 2.17 GHz
2GB DDR2 memory
Windows Vista 32bit
Visual Studio 2010

and this was my .mozconfig:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir-ff-release
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j2"
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_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 these recommendations to SDK 7, and the .Net Framework to 4. Also I needed to change the SDK version in the SDK configuration tool to 7.1.

At the end, the build was successfully done after 2 hours on Win 7 and more than 4 hours on Vista!
