BlueFyre: W32 2004-03-17 AthlonXP (O2/G7/GL/SSE, .NET 2003)

BlueFyre · Post by **BlueFyre** » March 17th, 2004, 12:35 pm

These are all Trunk Builds.

I built Mozilla Firefox from CVS with MSVC++ .NET 2003 using some optimisations.

Optimised for Athlon XP and some newer Durons with SSE (-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE):
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre/Firef ... GL-SSE.zip (~7.80MB - zip)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

[Note] Extracting will make a folder named Firefox

checkout start: Wed Mar 17 09:30:34 PST 2004

I should note that I can't guarantee that these builds will work with Windows 95 (Microsoft has removed Windows 95 as a target platform on their .NET 2003 version of development tools), but they will work with Windows 98/NT4 or better, and probably on Windows 95 too.

You can find a copy of these builds (and my older builds) on pryan's mirror:
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre

My .mozconfig is as follows:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE"
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

My builds have the following preference set:
pref("general.useragent.vendorComment", "BlueFyre");

I've included a copy of my .mozconfig in the build folder itself.

Anyone interested in some javascript meaningless numbers, I've compared three of today's optimised builds:

Something has changed since the 10th. Almost any build i try, 14th, 15th, 16th, and including todays, i find that most form buttons dont work (Such as login on this site). I had to rollback to march 10th, so that i can post on this forum as i wasnt able to login. So what i want, someone to logout and then try to log back in with todays build.

Thanks

fizz,
I had the same prob and found that it was the "signons.txt" file that I manually copied to the new firefox directory from the old phoenix. Deleted it and let FF rebuild, and logging in works fine (you just gotta remember all those logins). Your dates would coincide with the profile directory change.

Using the 3/14 Bluefyre build I was averaging 3.5 seconds on the scragz test, now I'm getting 3.2 with the 3/17 build. Zoom zoom!

I do have to say this build seems to have sped up page rendering. Even over the Moox build I had running.

That seems to have fixed it, thanks much heh
