Thunderbird BUILD ".mozconfig" issue

[afreen bano]

Hello,


I want to build thunderbird, i have dump comm-central repository in my system.
My concern is that after creating the ".mozconfig" file in the source directory and write below linesin the file so what will be happen.

.mozconfig

# Thunderbird
# Options passed to client.mk, usually controlling cvs checkout and update:
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/tbird-mysources
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=mail
# Options for the command line of ./configure:
ac_add_options --enable-application=mail
ac_add_options --enable-debug

I have enbled "debug" and "application"..so how can i check after build in thunderbird debug mode is enabled????

Try to use gdb to debug it.

This might help.

In Thunderbird enable the Menu bar (if not enabled), under Tools place a check mark for Allow Remote Debugging. Then use the Developer tools in Firefox.

I've never used it, and doubt many know about it.
