I am downloading all of the required bits n peices to build Mozilla (boy are there a lot!

) and sometime (tommorrow or the next day, I presume.. I have 56k dialup :roll:

) I hope to build Mozilla... How do you specify for Phoenix to be built , and nothing else? What options should I put in my MOZCONFIG file, etc. BTW, I am going to attempt this build on GCC 3.2.2. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I almost have it... I have everything (I think

) I need to build it with and I get to the pount where it is about to build and it is checking the programs and such and it says that GCC is unable to produce executable files, which, to me, sounds like a very funny error... Can I use GCC 3.2 or does it require 3.2.2, cuz I was not having problems building other programs with GCC 3.2. thx.

http://mozilla.org/build/win32.html list the minimum version numbers for the compilers and such. be warned. getting mozilla to build on windows with gcc is absolute hell. i have never once gotten a successful build with it. also, at the moment, firebird cannot be built with mingw (see <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202868">here</a>). remember to run dos2unix on your %moztools%/include directory and all its subdirectories or else you'll get a whole bunch of strange errors while building. good luck!
