start-msvc10.bat (VS 2010)
- The batch file will open a command line window. Navigate to the C: directory using the command "below. <pre>cd /c".</pre>
- Download the source code for the release version you would like to build. In this case, I downloaded the most recent version. The command below will copy the most recent version and place it in "c/mozilla-central'. Navigate into the the directory using the second command.
- Next we must create a .mozconfig file. This file will contain build options that will be used by the make file. The commands below will create a mozconfig file and add in the necessary commands for a Firefox default configuration. more options can be found in the
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_Build_Options Buil Build Options Documention].
<pre>
echo '. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig' > mozconfig
make -f client.mk
</pre>
- Using these configurations, the build should take about 1 hour. Once the build is complete the executable can be found in C:\mozilla-central\ff-opt\dist\bin\firefox.exe.
- Opening the executable may open an existing version of Firefox installed on your computer. If so, create a shortcut on your desktop.
<pre>
Right click firefox.exe > Send to > Desktop(create shortcut)
</pre>
- Open using the shortcut. Now your done.
