aebrahim: W32 2003-11-09 optimised for P3/P4/Athlon/AthlonXP

[aebrahim]

Fixed in this build: Ctrl+P now works again (was broken in 2003-11-08 and before).

I built Mozilla Firebird today from CVS with MSVC++ .NET 2003 using some optimisations. To build on MSVC++ .NET 2003, I had to use some old headers from the MSVC++ .NET 2002 Standard C++ Library. However, it's using the MSVC++ .NET 2003 compilers and linkers, so it should fully benefit from the new optimisations. The one bug that's blocking full native build support on MSVC++ .NET 2003 (without any code modifications) is:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208314

If you'd like to see native build support for MSVC++ .NET 2003, please sign into Bugzilla and vote for this bug, or better yet, contribute a patch. Thanks.

Optimised for Pentium 4, Pentium M, Celeron 1.7GHz+ and Athlon64 with SSE2 (-Oxs -G7 -arch:SSE2):
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... 7-SSE2.zip (6.08MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... 7-SSE2.exe (4.47MB - 7z sfx)
The above build will work on Pentium 4, Pentium M, Celeron 1.7 GHz and above and Athlon64 systems ONLY.

Optimised for Athlon XP and some newer Durons with SSE (-Oxs -G7 -arch:SSE):
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... G7-SSE.zip (6.08MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... G7-SSE.exe (4.47MB - 7z sfx)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

Optimised for Pentium III and Pentium III based Celerons with SSE (-Oxs -G6 -arch:SSE):
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... G6-SSE.zip (6.08MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... G6-SSE.exe (4.47MB - 7z sfx)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

Optimised for non-SSE Athlons (-Oxs -G7):
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... Oxs-G7.zip (6.08MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firebird/aebrahim/Mozi ... Oxs-G7.exe (4.46MB - 7z sfx)

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/firebird/aebrahim

My .mozconfig is as follows:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="see build info"
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

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

I've included a copy of my .mozconfig in the build folder itself. For more on what the optimisation switches do see this link:

What does control-P does anyway?

Works fast and stable on my machine.

Another thanks to Mr. Ebrahim.

What does control-P does anyway?

Print... or more precisely, call the Print dialog, from which you can print

I am sure this is probably not the right place to put this, but after doing a quick search on bugzilla I couldn't find anything regarding this (of course this could very easily be due to incompetence [edit: btw - I searched originally for print but that came up with way to many so I did print right click and that only came up with 3, none what I wanted]). But currently, none of the Mozilla Firebird builds I have used have the selection to Print when you right click on a page. It is not that big of a deal, but this is the way I am used to printing things. Even better would be if it could go one step ahead of Internet Explorer, and when you have selected a large block of text and then right click and choose Print, it would actually setup the Print Dialog with Source: Selection enabled instead of Whole Document.

Again, like I said, completely off topic but I was hoping maybe somebody could either find the bugzilla bug which deals with this or if it does not exist, help me confirm that.

Pryan.org seems to be down. I'm getting operation timed out whenever I try to contact the site.

It's back up now it seems, so you can DL now

Does ALT+RETURN in the search bar open a new tab as it used to? Or is it still broken?

I really appreciate the response (I use your builds all the time ) but I think you missed the first paragraph of my post. I was actually not talking about the Ctrl-P thing at all.

If your talking the search bar by the location bar,
It is still broken.

[jacsac]

couldabeen, my search bar by the location bar works great with this build.

Oops. My mistake.
