A lesson in exploiting the opensource exploitation.system :)

Noticing that the deadline was looming, I headed to where any other self-respecting procrastinator would go - other people's work- this is opensource after all. After flipping through a few people's pages, including the popular user[[User:Elichak | Elichak's]] page, I visited [[User:Sherman | Sherman]]. Having worked with Sherman before, I knew that we had similar home configurations, and as a result hopefully would have similar steps for building the fox. Thankfully I was right, and the steps outlined in Sherman's method worked very well on my home pc. The one error I encountered during the build:

was due to an oversight in the setup.bat file wherein Sherman had added a further file structure to his moztools that I had not implemented, a quick change got me running again. The build itself took ~2 hours, with the matrix style goop flying across my Cygwin window at an alarming rate: [[Image: MatrixGoop.JPG]] Once I realized where I was supposed to run the freshly built firefox from thanks to [[User:Ankuswan | Nanda]] (once again - no handy icon was on my desktop) I double clicked and kept my fingers crossed. However, my heart soon dropped when I saw this: [[Image: MozError2.JPG]] contacting the aforementioned Sherman, he assured me that by clicking ignore I would eventually end up with my running FireFox.
