download mozilla source
If you'd like to help by testing our software and submitting
bug reports, then download a binary.
If you're a developer then read on to find out how to get the source.
- Please try one of our many
mirror sites before
downloading the following from our FTP server. The bandwidth you save will
be your own.
- Understand that this is for developers only. If you have
never compiled and debugged a very large C/C++ program before, all
this will do for you is use up a lot of disk space.
- This code is covered by the Netscape Public License.
Please read the license before downloading it.
- If you're just beginning to work with mozilla then its recommended
to start with a tarball from the most recent milestone build. Milestone
builds occur on branches of the main cvs tree and have undergone QA and
bug fixing to make them relatively stable. Later on, if you want to move
off the branch and synchonize with the tip, do the following from the
parent directory of your tree to remove the CVS
branch tags from your tree:
cvs co -A SeaMonkeyAll
- For the most up-to-date tarball, grab the daily snapshot. Depending
on the current state of the tree, this may not build, or it may be extremely
buggy. However, it will update the most quickly with
CVS.
-
To unpack a .tar.gz file on Windows, either use WinZip, or
download the win32 versions of tar and gzip from
Cygnus.
Build instructions are available for the following platforms:
While you're waiting for the download (actually, ``before you even think
about downloading anything,'' but who are we kidding) you should familiarize
yourself with the developer documentation we have
compiled to date.
The source is also available through several other methods, including
CVS; see the Source Code page for details.
And finally, a huge
thank you
to all the people and organizations who made the initial release possible!
