Overview
MozillaBuild is a meta-installer that provides everything needed to build Mozilla on Windows, sans Visual C++. Its source lives in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-build/. Bugs should be filed in mozilla.org :: MozillaBuild. For information about building Mozilla on Win32, see the Mozilla Developer Center page.
Current Version
The current version of MozillaBuild is 2.1.0. It is available on ftp.mozilla.org.
To Upgrade From A Previous Version
Upgrading from an earlier MozillaBuild installation is straightforward but each step is important.
- Delete your current MozillaBuild environment by moving your MozillaBuild folder into the trash. If you can't remove the existing installation, you may have a terminal open or ssh-agent running. Terminate that process and try again.
- Install MozillaBuild 2.1.0.
- Run ./mach mercurial-setup --update-only to ensure that the version-control-tools repository is current.
- Clobber any trees you have by running ./mach clobber - build errors may occur otherwise.
