Disk space usage on Nightly build

[dreamop]

Hello,
I recently built nightly 30.0 on FreeBSD 10.
I created a build directory and untar'ed the sources. Everything went ok with the build (which remains in the "build" directory. My question is, the "build" directory is over 7 GB. I'd like to free up that space. I tried moving the /usr/home/doug/build/mozilla-release/obj-x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.0/dist/ folder to my home directory, but when running firefox, I get an error:
$ ./firefox
Could not find the mozilla runtime.

What can I safely delete without breaking my new build?

All you need to run your build is in dist/bin/ you can delete the rest (unless you want to build Firefox regularly).

Alternatively, cd to where you put your object-dir and run:

Code: Select all

make install

and make should install Firefox into your home dir (I think). I don't run *nix so I can't confirm if this works.

You may need run "make package".
