Hi,
Since build instructions at the official minimo page are a bit incomplete and not up-to-date, I post here my own notes how to get the little lizard running. 4 hours worth of build/try/configure/rebuild/retry.
1. Don't use Mozilla trunk. You need to checkout 1.8 branch. See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 69#2696769
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot'
cvs co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk mozilla/minimo/config/
cp mozilla/minimo/config/mozconfig/linux_x86 mozilla/mozconfig
2. Add following options to mozilla/mozconfig
# Enable debugging
-> --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-debug
# Enable multithreaded building. Speeds up the build process on dual core systems)
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j3
# When you don't want to do system wide installation of the minimo, set this to something specific to the project
ac_add_options --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/home/moo/workspace/phoneproject/minimo/home
3. Compile it
make --f client.mk build_all
4. Launch minimo
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$YOUR_MOZILLA_CHECKOUT/dist/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
mozilla/dist/bin/minimo
Minimo should come up in your X session.
Please tell me if I am missing something.

how to use plugin?
Hi, I have compiled minimo and it can run in my x86 linux, but I found that it lacks of lost plugins. Can it use the plugins for firefox?
I have modified the mozconfig before complile. I modified disable-plugins to enable-plugins.
minimo and firefox are all based on mozilla engine, so i think minimo can use the firefox's plugins. But how to use it?
Hope someone could tell me.
