Linux

RedHat 5.0 / Motif1.2

The following build instructions have been tested for RedHat 5.0. / Motif1.2.

If you are using RedHat 5.1 you will need to change the references to Linux2.0.31_x86_DBG.OBJ to be Linux2.0.32_x86_DBG.OBJ In addition if you do not have a executable called perl you will need to create a link to perl5... named perl. You can do that by doing the following:

Step #1 - Define the Environment Variables

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
ENV=$HOME/.bashrc

CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous @cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/<user id here>/mozilla/dist/Linux2.0.31_x86_DBG.OBJ/bin:/lib:/usr/lib

NGLAYOUT_PLUGINS=1
CM_BLDTYPE=dbg
AWT_11=1
MODULAR_NETLIB=1
NO_SECURITY=1
MOZ_SRC=/home/<user id here>
MOZ_OUT=/home/<user id here>
MOZ_BITS=32
MOZ_GOLD=1
NSPR20=1
OS_TARGET=Linux
STANDALONE_IMAGE_LIB=1
include=/usr/X11R6/include
lib=/usr/X11R6/lib
DEPTH=../../..

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH MODULAR_NETLIB NO_SECURITY USERNAME ENV PATH CVSROOT CM_BLDTYPE MOZ_SRC MOZ_OUT MOZ_BITS MOZ_GOLD NSPR20 OS_TARGET STANDALONE_IMAGE_LIB include lib DEPTH

NOTE:
The green <user id here> is where you put in your own User Id or the directory where you will be doing you development.
The dark red "Linux2.0.31_x86_DBG.OBJ" may not be the same on your Linux machine depending the version of Linux you are running.
 

Step #2 - Check out the source code

$ cd $MOZ_SRC
$ cvs co mozilla/config
$ cvs co mozilla/nglayout.mk
$ cd mozilla
$ make -f nglayout.mk pull_all
 

Step #3 - Build the Source
