FIREFOX
My works on firefox stuff
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!
