The purpose of this is to eventually provide a way to distribute web application as extensions so they can could be run locally/offlinethe last patch for Attachment reminder. At presentBut, when the browser starts the server also starts and installs an icon I am open to the system tray. It only runs on Win32 machineswork more if needed.

For the [httphttps://matrixbugzilla.senecacmozilla.onorg/show_bug.ca/~jwboston/ubiquity/ Subscribe cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], I am getting somewhat impatience. I am trying my best and still not be able to get it done. Improper apply of the patch and building errors for the patch are killing me. I am not getting the reason why my patches are creating so much issues in other machines? I guess, I have to all create the patch and ask David Humphrey, if he can apply my patch and build Thunderbird. Hopefully, next will be my commands]last patch.

If you are attempting to build Firefox 3.1 you can checkout the source using mercurial as described below. When creating a working directory and checking out the source it doesn't really matter where you put itAlso, but avoid paths that contain spaces. If your user I have added my name doesn't have space you can checkout to the source to your home directory like this: cd mkdir mozilla cd mozilla hg clone [http://hgzenit.mozillasenecac.orgon.ca/mozilla-centralwiki/ srcindex.php/Open_Source@Seneca_Planet_List[Seneca Planet List]].

If you are attempting to build Firefox 3Hence, first is DONE.0 you can checkout the source using cvs as described below: cd cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk cd ~/mozilla make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser

For this lab I have made a [http: notepad//zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.exe ~php/Learning_Collaborative_Development_Lab_Fall_2008_Results#Cuil_Search[cuil]], a new search engine, search through Ubiquity.mozconfig

If you are using a multi-core computer for building, you can try adding a flag to speed up compile timeshttp://cdpatel1. Use a value of ''((# of cores)*2)+1'' (ieblogspot. five for two cores): mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=com/2008/09/building-firefox-and-thunderbird-j5on.html

The instructions are the same as for Windows Vista. For Firefox 3, the Vista SDK is also required. However, try adding the following additional line to your .mozconfig file first: ac_add_options --disable-vista-sdk-requirements Another problem is that you may not be able to use your home directory because the path almost certainly has spaces. If that is the case, just put the mozilla directory in your root (ie. C:\mozilla) and put the .mozconfig file in that directory. == Building on Ubuntu and Fedora =Future Goals = Install build pre-requisites for Fedora users: su -c "yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' 'Development Libraries' 'GNOME Software Development'" su -c "yum install mercurial" Install Firefox 3 build re-requisites for Ubuntu 8.04 users: sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep firefox-3.0 sudo apt-get install mercurial libasound2 libasound2-dev curl libcurl4-gnutls-dev Checkout the source: mkdir ~/mozilla cd ~/mozilla hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ src Create and open a hidden file called .mozconfig in your home directory: gedit ~/.mozconfig Add the following lines to .mozconfig # My first mozilla config . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@ ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --disable-static --enable-shared See the Windows Vista notes above about adding a flag to .mozconfig to speed up the compile. Start the build: cd ~/mozilla/src make -f client.mk build Here task is a log of the output from building Firefox 3.1 on Ubuntu 8.04: http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/imgs/Build_output.txt.zip Once the build is finished you should set the following environment variable to turn-off assertion dialogs: export XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK=warn When you run Firefox for the first time, create and select a new profile called "development" (or any name of your choice) to avoid corrupting your current profilefinish my 0.
