= Problems Encountered =
I'd never done a build on Ubuntu before so I hit a few problems mainly to do with Ubuntu not coming with any development tools. More detail here would be good ([[User:David.humphrey|David.humphrey]] 14:16, 3 October 2006 (EDT))
= Solutions =
I knew [[User:Bhearsum | Ben Hearsum ]] had recently built moz on Ubuntu so I went to talk to him on IRC and he told me the packages I needed (he didn't remember the exact names my self I had to use apt-cache search all by myself to figure it out) Same issue here. This should be a living record so that someone doing a build on Ubuntu could use your doc. ([[User:David.humphrey|David.humphrey]] 14:17, 3 October 2006 (EDT))

This was not the first time I built a mozilla project (nor even firefox). The first time I built a moz project was on the last weekend of January 2006 when I wanted to learn about embedding Mozilla into other applications, I [http://www.foobartastic.com/2006/01/29/embedding-mozilla-pt-1/ blogged ] the event saying (sic):
<blockquote>
“It took me over four hours to figure out the foundations of writting an embedded Mozilla/Gecko application, download (the correct) source code, figure out how to compile Mozilla, and compile Mozilla. To be fair about one hour of this was spent compiling the Mozilla Application Suite (now called SeaMonkey). I’d like to write about each of the above points in turn.<br />
