→‎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:

# 1. Downloaded and installed CVS

$ sudo apt-get install cvs

# 2. 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

# 3. Updated the checked out version of Firefox

$ cd mozilla

$ make -f client.mk checkout

# 4. Created a .mozconf file in the mozilla directory. It contained the following content:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig

# 5. Performed a make command to build Firefox

$ make -f client.mk build

# 6. Ran Firefox which was located in the folder mozilla/dist/bin

$ cd dist/bin/

$ ./firefox
