Fourth semester BSD student. Currently on a steep learning curve. I am a returning student (about to turn 32) and thus, haven't been in school for 11 years. Prior to this I have worked many jobs including (but not limited to) 7-11 clerk, Subway sandwich artist, nanny, cook, brunch chef, LCBO temp, delivering NOW Magazine, and many other odd jobs.
Even though my name is Lukas, I am in fact female. It is important that I tell you that because otherwise you might not know and so now you do - let's move on.
I'm most interested in film/video - making, editing, videoblogging. I also knit...to give my eyes a break from computer screens. I'd like to learn more about graphic design to complement my interest in web development and design.
Outside of the Seneca @ York universe, I run with my dog and am training for a triathlon.
Inside the S@Y universe I am trying to take more steps to be involved. This is what brought me to here.
Building Firefox
Just to jump in, I tried to build firefox.
Tweaks
When I installed cygwin, I left the line endings as UNIX type (recommended) - and when I tried to check out I got the following error:
The error
C:\proj\mozilla>make -f client.mk checkout cvs checkout: warning: failed to open /home/Lukas/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory /cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla/.mozconfig: line 2: /cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla/browser/co : No such file or directory client.mk:517: /cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla/.mozconfig.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla/.mozconfig.mk'. Stop .
The solution
in C:\projs\mozilla dos2unix .mozconfig
This cleared everything up, and then I was able to begin downloading the source code.
Links
This is amazing documentation:
- Liz_Chak_Assignment_1
- David Humphrey's Guide to Building Firefox on Win32 using Visual Studio .NET 2005
And also to auenf2 on irc://irc.mozilla.org/#firefox for figuring out that it was the line endings preventing me from a seamless build.
