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/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

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

ac_add_options --disable-accessibility

ac_add_options --disable-tests

ac_add_options --disable-vista-sdk-requirements
