= Downloading the Source = | |||
I tend to use 'c:\proj' as the root for most of my work; replace that path as appropriate for your usage. I would suggest a path without spaces, though. | |||
Mozilla uses the Mercurial version control system. For more detailed information, see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_%28Mercurial%29 this page]. | |||
In 'C:\mozilla-build', there will be a few batch files -- fire up '''start-msvc9.bat''' to obtain a console window with paths set up for building. All commands are assumed to be executed within such a window. | |||
Note: the MSYS environment that drives the build uses Unix-style forward slashes for path separators. Drive letters are also treated as directories, so "C:\proj" becomes "/c/proj". Note that MSYS will automatically translate "/c/proj" into "C:\proj" from the command line; this sometimes causes problems when trying ot pass arguments that start with "/" to programs. To get around this, use "//" -- for example, "dumpbin //exports". Or, use the - form of arguments if supported. | |||
* First, create some directories: | |||
** '''mkdir /c/proj''' | |||
** '''cd /c/proj''' | |||
* Then check out the current source tree; this will grab a copy of the source in a directory called mozilla-central in /c/proj: | |||
** '''hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central''' | |||
= Set up a mozconfig = | |||
The mozilla build system uses a mozconfig file to avoid having to pass many options to configure on the command line. | |||
