Given that xcode even has to be bought via the Apple Store now, we can't make it a requirement. The environment has to work on a clean OS X system with the default Python installation. | ||

== | A nice optional solution which we sadly can't use is the [http://www.py2exe.org/ py2exe extension], which would allow us to kill any dependency on Python bundled with our environment. Given the amount of dependencies, a final larger size on disk, and additional work to make it work, we decided to drop this idea and instead deliver a full python version. | ||
== Applications == | |||

Both mercurial and simplejson contain optional C extensions for speed-up, which can't be used and have to be disabled. | |||
Additionally the following tools are getting installed on Windows to support a better user experience: | |||

== Environment Generation == | |||
The preparation of the Mozmill environment for all platforms has to happen on a build machine with all necessary build tools installed. A script has to fetch all required applications and build the environment automatically. | |||
Build tools required: | |||
* [http://www.python.org/ Python] (2.5 and higher) | |||
* cURL (Linux, Mac) | |||
* Python Headers (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-dev) | |||
