Before using 'hg' or 'make', you'll have to get a command prompt. Carefully follow these [https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites#Getting_a_command_prompt_for_building following steps]. This .bat file will open a MinGW32 window. | |||
''Note: It's very likely that you'll have to tweak the start-msvcXX.bat batch file to add more paths to the "PATH" environment variable. Also, you'll probably need to add some "LIB" and "INCLUDE" paths, or preset the "MOZCONFIG" variable for convenience.'' | |||

Even under Windows, e10s is built manually from a console (though you can setup MSVC projects to drive builds for you, but it's not recommended, as build dependencies are very complicated, making incremental building from MSVC a *real* challenge!). | Even under Windows, e10s is built manually from a console (though you can setup MSVC projects to drive builds for you, but it's not recommended, as build dependencies are very complicated, making incremental building from MSVC a *real* challenge!). | ||
From the minGW32 window, build the code as you would normally do on other platforms, by following [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Collabora_Notes#Building_the_electrolysis_project these steps]. | |||
