=== Building the Prototype === | |||
Building the prototype for a desktop PC is like [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_build building Firefox], so make sure you have all the Firefox build pre-requisites installed. The prototype uses B2G's [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mulet Mulet] development environment to run and debug the tablet chrome. | |||
First clone the GitHub repository (this is a fork of mozilla-central on GitHub, it's best to create your own fork of this repository to checkout if you want to submit pull requests): | |||
$ git clone https://github.com/benfrancis/gecko-dev.git | |||
Checkout the tablet branch: | |||
$ git checkout b2g-tablet | |||
Create a file in the source code directory called "mozconfig" and add the following line to the file: | |||
ac_add_options --enable-application=b2g/dev | |||
Build: | |||
$ ./mach build | |||
Create a blank profile directory if you don't want to use your default Firefox profile: | |||
$ mkdir profile | |||
Run the chrome inside the development environment (hit F12 to show the developer tools on the right hand side) and scale it to size: | |||
$ ./mach run -profile profile | |||
You can also run the tablet chrome directly without the developer tools: | |||
$ ./mach run -profile profile -chrome chrome://b2g/content/shell.html | |||
