<title>Introduction to <application>Mozilla</application></title>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>Mozilla</application> is a browser suite, the Open Source
|
|
sibling of <application>Netscape</application>. It includes the browser,
|
|
composer, mail client, a calendar client and an <acronym>IRC</acronym> client.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to cater to the needs
|
|
of users who don't need the complete browser suite or like to have seperate applications
|
|
for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/">Mozilla Firebird</ulink>,
|
|
(a stand-alone browser based on the Mozilla source code) and
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/">Mozilla Thunderbird</ulink>,
|
|
(a stand-alone mail client based on the Mozilla source code). The build instructions
|
|
for these two applications are discussed in this section instead of having a
|
|
seperate section since the build instructions are very similar to those for
|
|
<application>Mozilla</application>. In addition, because of the similarity,
|
|
only the changes required with respect to
|
|
the <application>Mozilla</application> instructions are mentioned.
|
|
The source for these
|
|
projects can be downloaded from their homepages mentioned above. Note that it is
|
|
not possible to interchange the source, that is <application>Mozilla Firebird</application>
|
|
or <application>Mozilla Thunderbird</application> cannot be built from
|
|
<application>Mozilla</application> source code.</para>
