Steps you took to complete the build
==Steps you took to complete the build==
For my build, i used Ubuntu Linux. The main reason for this was so I can become more comfortable using Linux and not become dependent on a specific Operating System. the following steps I performed to build Firefox are the following:
# Downloaded and installed CVS
$ sudo apt-get install cvs
# Checked out the latest version of Firefox using CVS
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
# Updated the checked out version of Firefox
$ cd mozilla
$ make -f client.mk checkout
# Created a .mozconf file in the mozilla directory. It contained the following content:
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
# Performed a make command to build Firefox
$ make -f client.mk build
