<para>
|
|
There are two major methods for building
|
|
<application>Firefox</application>. In the standard case, the entire suite
|
|
of libraries is built and installed. In the other, most of the system is
|
|
built using the procedures found in <xref linkend="xulrunner"/>. This is
|
|
advantageous if you are planning to build other related packages such as
|
|
<xref linkend="icedtea-web"/>. With either build method, you need to run
|
|
the main build procedure below with the appropriate options in the
|
|
<filename>mozconfig</filename> file. Then use the appropriate install
|
|
instructions depending on the chosen build method.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The configuration of <application>Firefox</application> is accomplished by
|
|
creating a <filename>mozconfig</filename> file containing the desired
|
|
configuration options. A default <filename>mozconfig</filename> is created
|
|
below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an
|
|
abbreviated description of each one), issue <command>./configure
|
|
--help</command>. You may also wish to review the entire file and
|
|
uncomment any other desired options.
|
|
Create the file by issuing the following command:
