The way I decided to proceed with this assignment was to read all the information out there about how the build process works before trying anything out. I did this to decrease my chances that I do not fall into a "try, fail, try again" scenario. However, as it came to be, finding a bug in software is inevitable. :(

In the report below I mentioned the tools one needs, steps I took, and problems that I tackled to get me through the process of building firefox "minefield" using CVS!

Note: I initially tried to build firefox 1.5.0.7 without using CVS, but ran into way too many problems to document. I then moved on to the minefield version and the problems that spitted out were easier to fix.

Once downloaded, the "Windows Core SDK" (Tools, Build Environment, and Redistributable Components) and the "Web Workshop SDK" (Build Environment) must be installed. If you are using at least Visual Studio .NET 2003, you already have all the necessary SDKs for building mozilla and can skip this requirement step.

I mainly followed the guide from [http://cs.senecac.on.ca/%7Edavid.humphrey/writing/firefox-win32-build.html Dave's site] but changed a few aspects of it so that it worked for the Visual Studio 2003 version and the way I setup my computer.
  
 +
1. Created a directory called '''C:\proj'''
 +
 +
2. [[User:Mdsouza/Assignment_01:_Build_the_Fox#Downloaded_And_Installed_The_Tools|Downloaded and Installed]] the necessary software above.
 +
 +
3. Created my [[User:Mdsouza/Assignment_01:_Build_the_Fox#Batch_File|batch file]] and [[User:Mdsouza/Assignment_01:_Build_the_Fox#.mozconfig_File|.mozconfig file]].
 +
 +
4. Navigated to the location of where I stored my batch file ('''C:\proj''') and double-clicked it to execute.
 +
 +
5. When the bash prompt came up, I typed the following commands...
 +
 +
Navigated to the '''C:\proj''' folder. Logged in ('''anonymous''' is the password):
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
cvs login
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
Navigated to the '''C:\proj''' folder. Checked out the build script:
 +
 +
<pre>
 +
cvs co mozilla/browser/config mozilla/client.mk
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
6. It created a directory called '''C:\proj\home\mozilla'''. I copied my .mozconfig file over to the '''C:\proj\home\mozilla''' folder.
 +
 +
7. Went back to the prompt and typed...
 +
 +
Navigated to the '''C:\proj\home\mozilla''' folder. Got the full source code:

Built the code:

 +

[[User:Mdsouza/Assignment_01:_Build_the_Fox#Did_The_Boring_Stuff|resources]] and [http://www.google.com Google], fixed the problems and FINALLY finished it successfully!

I originally did not have my enviromental variables correctly set up. So I got this error:

 +
</pre>
 +
 +
I solved this problem so I went to the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Build_FAQ#Win32-specific_questions Mozilla Build FAQ] and it told me to run vcvars32.bat, delete my config.cache file (in the mozilla or object directory) and then build again.
 +
 +
I tried this but it still failed. So then I created a batch file, included a call to setup several variables, and double-checked that all directories in the variables were correct. This fixed the problem.
 +
 +
===Problem 2===
 +
 +
The other problem was that even though I had 1GB of ram, and had a 1.5GB pagefile, it crashed my computer twice. The first time my page file reached from about 130mb (when I closed all the uncessary programs) to 909mb. The second time my page file reached 707mb and crashed. I got the following error to inform me about an hour into the build.

Overview

The way I decided to proceed with this assignment was to read all the information out there about how the build process works before trying anything out. I did this to decrease my chances that I do not fall into a "try, fail, try again" scenario. However, as it came to be, finding a bug in software is inevitable. :(

In the report below I mentioned the tools one needs, steps I took, and problems that I tackled to get me through the process of building firefox "minefield" using CVS!

Note: I initially tried to build firefox 1.5.0.7 without using CVS, but ran into way too many problems to document. I then moved on to the minefield version and the problems that spitted out were easier to fix.

Computer Specs

  • Intel Pentium IV 1.7 GHz
  • 1GB of RAM
  • 40GB Hard Drive
  • Windows XP Professional

Steps Took To Build the Fox

Did The Boring Stuff

Here are some of the sites I spent the most time reading:

Downloaded And Installed The Tools

When installing Cygwin the following packages need to be selected:

* ash -- UNIX-like command line interpreter shell (Base category) 
* coreutils -- GNU core utilities (includes fileutils, install, sh-utils, and textutils) (Base category) 
* cvs -- concurrent versions system (Devel category) 
* diffutils -- file comparison utility (Base category) 
* findutils (Base category) 
* gawk -- pattern matching language (Base and Interpretors categories) 
* grep -- text search tool (Base category) 
* libiconv -- character set conversion (Devel category) 
* make -- dependency analyzer for software builds (Devel category) (not mandatory if the version is 3.81 -- we need 3.80)
* patchutils -- a small collection of programs that operate on patch files (Devel category) 
* perl -- a scripting language used to control parts of the build (Interpreters category) 
* sed -- a search and replace language (Base category) 
* unzip -- zip file extraction (Archive category) 
* zip -- zip file creation (Archive category)
  • Make 3.80 (to overwrite the 3.81 version from the Cygwin install)

Once MAKE is downloaded and saved on your hard drive:

1. Use WinRAR to extract the file to any folder of your choosing.
2. Copy the make.exe file located within the usr/bin folder and overwrite the make.exe located in C:\cygwin\bin 

Once downloaded, extract the contents to C:\proj\moztools.

Once downloaded, the "Windows Core SDK" (Tools, Build Environment, and Redistributable Components) and the "Web Workshop SDK" (Build Environment) must be installed. If you are using at least Visual Studio .NET 2003, you already have all the necessary SDKs for building mozilla and can skip this requirement step.

The Build Begins

I mainly followed the guide from Dave's site but changed a few aspects of it so that it worked for the Visual Studio 2003 version and the way I setup my computer.

1. Created a directory called C:\proj

2. Downloaded and Installed the necessary software above.

3. Created my batch file and .mozconfig file.

4. Navigated to the location of where I stored my batch file (C:\proj) and double-clicked it to execute.

5. When the bash prompt came up, I typed the following commands...

Navigated to the C:\proj folder. Logged in (anonymous is the password):

cvs login

Navigated to the C:\proj folder. Checked out the build script:

cvs co mozilla/browser/config mozilla/client.mk

6. It created a directory called C:\proj\home\mozilla. I copied my .mozconfig file over to the C:\proj\home\mozilla folder.

7. Went back to the prompt and typed...

Navigated to the C:\proj\home\mozilla folder. Got the full source code:

make -f client.mk checkout

Built the code:

make -f client.mk build

8. Kept waiting for it to build (it took a couple of hours suprisingly). A couple of bugs below came up, I checked my resources and Google, fixed the problems and FINALLY finished it successfully!

Problems And Solutions

Problem 1

I originally did not have my enviromental variables correctly set up. So I got this error:

$ make -f client.mk build
Adding client.mk options from /cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla/.mozconfig:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/proj/mozilla'
make: *** [/cygdrive/c/proj/mozillafirefox-objdir/Makefile] Error 2

I solved this problem so I went to the Mozilla Build FAQ and it told me to run vcvars32.bat, delete my config.cache file (in the mozilla or object directory) and then build again.

I tried this but it still failed. So then I created a batch file, included a call to setup several variables, and double-checked that all directories in the variables were correct. This fixed the problem.

The other problem was that even though I had 1GB of ram, and had a 1.5GB pagefile, it crashed my computer twice. The first time my page file reached from about 130mb (when I closed all the uncessary programs) to 909mb. The second time my page file reached 707mb and crashed. I got the following error to inform me about an hour into the build.

Like everyone who built firefox the first time, it is quite confusing, and needs a lot of patience to read all the documenation and fix the several bugs that one can encounter. This is the first time I did something as big as this, and this is also the first time I participated in an open source project (other than helping spread firefox).
