Download the Mozilla source via CVS. http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html

Read the Readme. http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/b ... EADME.html

I can't download the Mozilla source via CVS.

My company's firewall has the CVS port blocked.

so grab a source tarball

and do

make -f client.mk build

with a .mozconfig like

Code: Select all

export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2
#ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
ac_add_options --disable-composer
#
ac_add_options --enable-xft
#

Well, they have it available via ftp, but I don't know how closely it matches the cvs in terms of updates.

I tried that, but it appears that the mozilla build did not follow the options that I specified in the ~/.mozconfig

Maybe it's because I ran the build while logged in as root, but the .mozconfig was in my /home/sig directory?

highly likely, it would have looked for (and not found) /root/.mozconfig

Ok, now it is working.

After the build is finished, will I need to do anything else?

I don't think so

I have the dist/bin directory of my source tree(s) in my path, so I just type phoenix -P 'profile', and I'm running what I just built

As cdn says, you can run phoenix directly from the dist/bin directory. However you may want to save particular builds for running and rebuild phoenix with updated source and if the update doesn't compile/crashes etc. you'll still have your original build which you can continue using until the source is stable again.

I always build a tarball for installation in ~/apps/phoenix, this directory is in my path and I can continue to change/build my tree without fear of my browser being broken.

This thread describes how you can easily build a tarball from your newly built phoenix.
