Talk:Development:Building:Mozilla 1.9.0 Branch

I think that at the top of the new Development page we should have a Table of Contents, similar to what you see on the wiki. This should make it easier to navigate the document quickly.delliott 10:27, 8 August 2006 (PDT)

At the moment (leftover HTML in the page aside) I don't think these instructions will ever go on cb.o, but if for some reason they do, we'll certainly have one. —sardisson 21:54, 8 August 2006 (PDT)

I'd like some way to better indicate the level 3 headings are headings —sardisson 23:20, 28 September 2006 (PDT)

That'll be part of the new theme. Maxr 11:01, 29 September 2006 (PDT)

thanks max! —sardisson 14:17, 29 September 2006 (PDT)

...make sure that the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th columns are green (these are the Camino trunk builds).

Shouldn't this actually be 1st, 4th and 5th columns? — alimony

Stuff to Fix

Our existing developer documentation currently covers the build process and is in pretty good shape. There are, however, things we should improve.

• Fix instructions for Building Intel (Bug 327789)

  also, best -j flag for Core Duos

  delliott's Development:Building:Intel

• The stuff on Talk:Development:Building:Intel
• Link to MDC's CVS, Mac build, Uni build articles
• Link to wkik.m.o's constantly updated Mac Build Matrix
• "The gcc_select issue should be in bold 24pt font" (feedback from irc)
• Set up for OBJDIRs by default, since everyone is using them
• The instructions assume the use of a bash shell (default for new user accounts created on 10.3 or higher)
• src tarball link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/source
  • Tell tarball users what they can skip
  • Sanity-check the tarball bits (intro to "Pulling and Building" section)
• Link to the Common build errors Development:Building:Build_Errors and how to solve
• Sidebar links from the existing cbo page (none are unique to building)
• Best -j flag for Dual G4s, Dual G5s, Dual and Quad Core G5s [are these different???]
• Verify we can build on Case-Sensitive HFS on both the trunk and the MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.
• Add delliott's Setting Camino to use a different profile to the Development section???
• Final read-through
