Building Camino (trunk) on your Intel Mac

These instructions are constantly changing and should not be considered a definitive resource, even though there is no other resource.

Preparing your Macintosh

Download and install XCode 2.3 from the Apple Developer Connection. (free registration)

Download and install Fink 0.8.1 from Fink.

Open Terminal.app

sudo apt-get install orbit orbit-dev glib libidl2

Close Terminal.app

Download and install the Shared Menus Cocoa framework using the instructions at Mozilla Developer Centre.

Open Terminal.app

sudo mkdir -p /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk/Library/Frameworks
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/SharedMenusCocoa.framework /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk/Library/Frameworks
sudo mkdir -p /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Library/Frameworks
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/SharedMenusCocoa.framework /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/Library/Frameworks

Pulling source and building in Terminal.app

Open Terminal.app, change directory to where you would like to build Camino from.

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
cvs login
cvs co mozilla/client.mk
cvs co mozilla/camino/config/mozconfig

Use your favourite text editor to create the file .mozconfig

If your Intel Mac has a Core Duo processor then your .mozconfig file should contain the following:

. $topsrcdir/camino/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-debug
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-jN

Where N = # of CPUs +1, where # of CPUs = 2 on a Core Duo processor.

Please read the above line, again, you are not setting 'N' MAKE_FLAGS, but a real number as defined above!

To pull from cvs and build:

Please visit the Tinderbox and make sure that the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th columns are green.

make -f client.mk

Building in XCode

Open XCode, click your left-mouse button on File ... Open

Browse to mozlla/camino/ and select Camino.xcode

Choose to Upgrade a Copy

Click on Project... Edit Project Settings

In the General tab select Mac OS X 10.4 (Universal) in the Cross-Develop Using Target SDK drop-down menu.

Click on Change in the panel that pops up.

Setting Camino to use a different profile

This means you can run the Camino you are developing on alongside your day-to-day copy of Camino!

There are 2 ways to do this, you can either set this within XCode:

Click Project... Edit Active Executable 'Camino'
In the Arguments tab click the + button under the "Variables to be set in the environment" table.
In the Name column type 'CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR' in the Value column type in where you would like to store Camino's profile for your development copy.
Click Build & Go in the XCode Toolbar

Or you can set this at a Terminal:

Instead of clicking on Build & Go in the XCode toolbar, click on Build.

Open a Terminal.app

export CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR=AbsolutePathToDir
cd PathToWhereYourCamino.appLies
open Camino.app

Your CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR can be anywhere you have write access to, my CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR points to ~/Documents/SoC/CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR/

My Camino.app is in ~/Documents/SoC/mozilla/camino/build/Development/ so I cd to that directory before executing open Camino.app

(Weak) Statistics

Total time to pull and make from scratch on:

  1. MacBook Core Duo 1.83GHz w/ 512MB RAM : 48 minutes.

I tested this using the command uptime && make -f client.mk && uptime.
