BlueFyre: W32 2004-04-12 AthlonXP (O2/G7/GL/SSE, .NET 2003)

Post by BlueFyre »

These are all Trunk Builds.

I built Mozilla Firefox from CVS with MSVC++ .NET 2003 using some optimisations.

Optimised for Athlon XP and some newer Durons with SSE (-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE):
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre/Firef ... GL-SSE.zip (~7.50MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre/Firef ... -GL-SSE.7z (~5.5MB - 7z)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

[Note] Extracting will make a folder named Firefox

checkout start: Mon Apr 12 07:37:56 PDT 2004

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/firefox/BlueFyre

My .mozconfig is as follows:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE"
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

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

I've included a copy of my .mozconfig in the build folder itself.

Looking good so far.

Minor error may have been caused by not clearing the cache after 10 extension installs although I did shutdown and restart FF between extension installations.

Had to reinstall 2x though as a couple of extensions fail to install completely and fried this build.

(SmoothWheel & ShowImage, both latest versions)

The third time all went well including the above mentioned and now this latest FF build is running fast and stable.

Thanks for building.
