Cbishop2 Firefox Build - 2
(Redirected from Firefox Build)
Firefox build for lab 1
Notes
Build Environment Hardware
- Intel Dual-Core
Software
- Microsoft XP
- Visual Studio 2008
For a start forward build I followed these steps.
- Download Mozilla-Build and extract to a folder.
- Using Mercurial download the Firefox trunk.
- Open console.
- Move to the mozilla-build\hg folder.
- Checkout the source code.
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ path\to\destination
path\to\destination should not have any spaces in it. Suggestion is \mozilla.
- Create configuration file.
- Move to source top level directory. The folder the source was cloned to in step 2.C.
- Create file .mozconfig.
- Open .mozconfig for editing.
- Note: This is for Windows builds. Add the following lines
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@ mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug
These options worked for me but not necessarily the best options. To build faster should use --disable-debug and --enable-optimize
- Build Firefox Source code
- In console move to mozilla-build folder.
- Note: This is still for Windows builds.
Run the appropriate start-*.bat file. You can determine which to run here. - In the new console move to the top level folder for the source code as done in step 3.A.
- Run the make file.
make -f client.mk build
- Run FireFox.
Note: I failed to launch Firefox from the command line see Build Output below.- In the Windows Explorer move to the top level folder for the source code as done in step 3.A.
- Then to a folder starting with obj.
- Next to the dist\bin folder.
- Create a shortcut for the Firefox.exe file. Right-click create shortcut.
- Open the properties for the shortcut. Right-click properties.
- In the target section add to the end
-no-remote -profilemanager
and press the ok button. - Run Firefox from the shortcut. Double click the shortcut.
- Create a test profile, select the test profile, and click start minefield.
Build Output
Failed when running from command line
Would not let me use a test profile I created.
