Assignment 1 - Andrew Smith

My platform of choice is Slackware 10.2.

Steps taken: 1.Talk to Tom, asking him about how I get started. 2.Realize I don't have enough disk space, remove 6GB of .ogg files. 3.Follow instructions at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Source_Code_Via_CVS to download the source code. No problems here. 4.Copy paste the firefox optimised static example 5.Got an explanation from Tom about the things at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Configuring_Build_Options 6.Ignored some of Tom's instructions as they conflict with the ones on the wiki. 7.Compiled for 1 hour at school. Tom said I should get ready to sleep there so did a ctrl+c and went home. 8.From home, typed in the same 'make -f client.mk build' and it seemed to continue. Only took about another hour or two to complete the build. 9.The working firefox binary was found in ff-opt-static/dist/bin

Apparently the full installation of Slackware has everything needed by the mozilla build.

I thought disk space would be a problem but deleting some non-critical data solved that.
