[ug-bosug] A howto for building Mozilla 1.7.13 on Belenix 0.4.3a

[Sriram Narayanan]

Hi all:

Here's a quick howto for building Mozilla 1.7.14 on Belenix 0.4.3a:

1. Install Belenix 0.4.3a

2. Post install, execute the following commands:
cd /
tar -xvf archive.tar

3. Download and uncompress the Mozilla 1.7.13 sources from the Mozilla
FTP server.

4. Edit the file mozilla/layout/base/nsBidi.cpp
- Search for "ES =  eCharType_EuropeanNumberSeparator," and change to
"ES1 =  eCharType_EuropeanNumberSeparator,".
- Search for "CS =  eCharType_CommonNumberSeparator," and change to
"CS1 =  eCharType_CommonNumberSeparator,".

5. Place the following contents into ~/.mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/opt/mozilla/builddir
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
ac_add_options --disable-pedantic
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite


6. Change to /opt/mozilla (assuming you've extracted your sources there)
gmake -f client.mk build

You should have mozilla built after about 90 minutes (P4 1 GB RAM KDE
on Belenix)

7. Change to /opt/mozilla-1.7.3/builddir/dist/bin
./mozilla
