Compiling the sources

If you have installed everything properly and downloaded the current source tree from the cvs server at www.mozilla.com, you can begin to compile the sources.

You can either use emx/gcc or IBM VisualAge for C++. An environment setting in warpzilla.cmd determines which compiler will be used by the make utility.

To start the (lengthy) compile process, just go to X:\Warpzilla\mozilla and issue the

gmake
command. The whole mozilla backend should now compile without any errors (but lots of warnings though).

After that, you should build the current frontend (os2fe). Go to X:\Warpzilla\mozilla\cmd\os2fe and issue again

gmake
