Checkout Mozilla like so.

• {MOZTRUNK} is the directory you want mozilla installed into. From your {MOZTRUNK} run.
• You will be checking out release FIREFOX_2_0_0_3_RELEASE

Create MozConfig File

• You can create your own .mozconfig using the following script
• Otherwise, simply copy the text below, and place it in {$MOZTRUNK}/mozilla/.mozconfig
• Notice the location that you will be placing your OBJ (built files).

#trunk/mozilla/.mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=xulrunner
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_MODULE=xulrunner
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/xulrunner-macosx-intel-cocoa_d.obj
ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-application=xulrunner
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=cocoa

Make Mozilla

• Run Make

cd {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla
Note: make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=xulrunner
make -f client.mk build

• Verify build by running to your {MOZ_OBJDIR}/dist/bin/xulrunner-bin. You will simply get a usage printed to your terminal.

Checkout Webclient

• Go to {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla
• Checkout Blackwood

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co Blackwood

• Verify the checkout by notice a "java" folder and it's contents in {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla

Build Webclient

• Configure webclient

  cd {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla/java
     ../configure
     cp build.properties.samples build.properties
     vi build.properties #Modify the appropriate path.  You will also need to have junit

• Copy the contents of {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla/java/makefiles to {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla/allmakefiles.sh. You will insert it as such:

#
# Common makefiles used by everyone
#
add_makefiles "
Makefile
build/Makefile
build/unix/Makefile
config/Makefile
config/autoconf.mk
config/mkdepend/Makefile
config/doxygen.cfg
java/dom/jni/Makefile
java/dom/src/Makefile
java/webclient/src_moz/gtk/Makefile
java/webclient/src_moz/Makefile
java/webclient/src_ie/Makefile
java/webclient/src_share/Makefile
java/plugins/src/Makefile
java/plugins/jni/Makefile
java/plugins/mozilla/Makefile
"

• Return {MOZTRUNK}/mozilla/java and run "ant"
• You should now how a viable webclient build.
