Re: xulrunner ignoring --with-system-nss

2008-10-11T01:32:10Z

I did figure out that due to the fact that our distro was installing
mozilla-nss.pc, but not nss-config and this was causing the configure to
not see the system nss, so it was always going to build one internally. I
added the nss-config file and now the xulrunner build is failing and I am
sure it is related to nss. Here is the error:

xulrunner ignoring --with-system-nss

2008-10-10T14:37:24Z

I am building xulrunner 1.9.0.3, but when I use the options --with-system-
nspr and --with-system-nss in my .mozconfig, when doing a make install the
file mozilla-nss.pc is still installed. This is clobbering the mozilla-
nss.pc file from the system nss. The only way I found to stop this was to
remove this ifndef from xulrunner/installer/Makefile.i n

Re: NSPR + NSS now in mozilla-central

pdb is created by VC++ to hold debugging symbols. It is created when the
compile includes /Zi option. To name the target .pdb file, you use /Fd.
There is no makefile in my tree that contains /Fd so nspr4.pdb is not
going to be created. I believe the configuration sets up to require .pdb
but does not emit the rule to create the .pdb

Ok, any suggestions on how to build nspr.pdb? Any idea what it is?

Thanks, but I never use these home directory things. I don't know where
they are, they are like globals in appearing unexpectedly when you are
using other tools, they result in different values on different
machines, etc. Better to keep all of the info about the build tools in
one place. I'll probably have another machine before mozillabuild is

You might want to put your local configuration into %USERPROFILE%
\Mercurial.ini, however, so you don't lose your changes if you update
to a newer version of MozillaBuild at some point.

Yes, you need NSPR to build Firefox. The "rm" was only if you had
cloned a tree a while ago and checked out NSPR/NSS from CVS.

I just did a clone of mozilla-central and when I build I hit
[link]
which occurs in the nsprpub directory removed above. I don't understand
any of the first paragraph above.
Is nsprpub needed? should it be deleted after cloning the source or not?

Unable to build Firefox

2008-10-09T15:04:25Z

Hi,

I am new to Mozilla build system and my long term goal is to compile Firefox or XULRunner for Windows Mobile.
I have got several questions and will be grateful to anyone who lets me know an answer to any of those:

1. When building FF or XULRunner for regular Win32, e.g. Windows XP, is there any alternative to the UNIX tools based build system? I mean does anyone have any SLN file(s), which perform the build of FF / XR without using MINGW?

Re: mk_add_options on FF3.1 w/mercurial?

The options which control checkout are: MOZ_CO_PROJECT is obsolete, for example.
But other client.mk options such as MOZ_OBJDIR control the build process,
and so they aren't obsolete.
We want our docs to cover all the current branches, so I don't think we
should change these docs until we get rid of CVS-based builds, which won't

Re: what does autoconf have to do with mercurial?

2008-10-09T12:57:54Z

This is a bad place for these instructions. Somebody put them there because
we introduced the requirement that everyone have autoconf-2.13 when we
switched to Mercurial, and I guess that seemed like a convenient place to
note the fact.
Please feel free to fix this with a link to the build prerequisites, or

any way was a pre-req. Is there some reason these instructions are

Re: Checking out the FF3.1 source tree

2008-10-08T18:28:32Z

No. The old function of "put a tree together" is gone, but it has additional
functions for pulling new NSPR and NSS tags, and we hope to remove client.mk
in the future and push that functionality into client.py
