Build Firefox 编译Firefox

• 准备

• 选择需要的firefox版本

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/

• 选择最新的build工具

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/

 

• 如果是windows系统的话，配置相应的环境（主要是安装vs版本）

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites

 

• 编译

.mozconfig 中设置的参数是编译成功的关键

详细可以参考 https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_Build_Options

我设置的参数是

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1"
#mk_add_options MOZ_PACKAGE_NSIS=1
ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-webgl

 

之前一直编译不成功，报如下错误：

/c/src/mozilla22/browser/build.mk:12: *** You are using GNU make to build Firefo
x with -jN on Windows. This will randomly deadlock. To compile a parallel build
on Windows run "python -OO build/pymake/make.py -f client.mk build". See https:/
/developer.mozilla.org/en/pymake for more details..  Stop.

 

是因为多核浏览器造成死锁，将编译参数设置成

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS = "-j1"

就可以了
