Collabora Notes

This document contains helpful tips for Collabora contractors who have to wrestle with building the Mozilla source under different platforms.

(We can rename the page appropriately, later.)

Collaborans are interested in building E10s on a machine on which Scratchbox is also installed, on which the Maemo SDK can be installed, and on which one can cross-compile to the ARM architecture.

Xen Image

One way to obtain the desired build environment is to obtain a virtual machine image that is properly configured. I (robin_bb) have created such an image. It was current in August 2009.

You can get it here.

In order to use that image, you'll need the Xen virtual machine correctly installed and setup on your box.

Installing Scratchbox

In order to build firefox, fennec or e10s (electrolysis) for the maemo platform on the N810, N900 (rover) or Devlon-2, you have to cross-compile the mozilla codebase for the ARM processor.

For that, you need Scratchbox Apophis.

Installing Maemo SDK

As a Collabora developer, you might be targetting a specific maemo platform version.
