building firefox 【linux】
先列出要需要网上下载文件/更新文件的命令，也就是下面要用到的：
sudo apt-get build-dep firefox sudo apt-get install mercurial libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt-get install autoconf2.1 sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-dev cd /opt && hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ firefox-3.7
分别列为A,B,C,D,E.请分别按照次序运行之，当运行完某条命令后，提示不需要更新的时候，请忽略这条命令
若在A更新过程中，出现下面的错误：
不能满足软件包 firefox 所要求的构建依赖关系
请将 /etc/apt/sources.list 改为默认的源 也就是 装完系统后自带的：

命令E会将给定的网站上的代码克隆到本地/opt/firefox-3.7，当然自动会创建firefox-3.7文件夹。注意这条命令会很慢。。
当一切顺利完成后开始编译准备过程！！
修改toolkit/toolkit-makefiles.sh[下面的命令都是基于 跟目录，也就是/opt/firefox-3.7]
找到MAKEFILES_plugin
MAKEFILES_plugin=" modules/plugin/Makefile modules/plugin/base/src/Makefile modules/plugin/base/public/Makefile modules/plugin/default/mac/Makefile modules/plugin/default/unix/Makefile modules/plugin/default/windows/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/samples/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/samples/common/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/samples/basic/windows/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/samples/winless/windows/Makefile modules/plugin/sdk/samples/npruntime/Makefile "
加入下面这行
modules/plugin/sdk/samples/npruntime/Makefile
为后面编写npruntime做准备，当然你若是不做插件可跳过此步骤～
修改browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@ ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi ac_add_options --enable-application=browser mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
好开始编译
在根目录下运行
autoconf2.13
编译步骤
./configure --enable-application=browser make distclean make -f client.mk build
注意命令的顺序！！
注意：若无 --enable-选项，则会报错
configure: error: --enable-application=APP was not specified and is required
在上面的configure 或者make 过程中的出错处理
若是关于 automationutils.py的错误，忽略之
若是关于头文件找不到错误，如nptypes.h, npruntime.h
从modules/plugin/base/public拷贝找不到的头文件到dist/include
然后继续编译步骤
若出现库错误或者似乎环境变量设置问题，运行下面的命令更新下
apt-get install libnotify-dev
若出现
configure: error: Can't find header iwlib.h for Necko WiFi scanning (might be in package libiw-dev (Ubuntu) or wireless-tools-devel (Fedora)); use --disable-necko-wifi to disable
则运行下面的命令更新下：
apt-get install libiw-dev
若出现
checking for GL/glx.h... no configure: error: Can't find header GL/glx.h for WebGL (install mesa-common-dev (Ubuntu), mesa-libGL-devel (Fedora), or Mesa (SuSE))
根据提示装响应的库，如
get mesa-common-dev
若出现
bin/sh:can not open ../build/autoconf/configure Configure :error:../build/autoconf/configure/ failed for js/src
先编译下面的子目录
cd js/src autoconf2.13 cd ../..
请在出错后按照上面处理后重新运行
./configure --enable-application=browser make distclean make -f client.mk build
最后，这行是成功消息：
config.status: creating include/Makefile config.status: creating include/ffi.h config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating testsuite/Makefile config.status: creating man/Makefile config.status: creating libffi.pc config.status: creating fficonfig.h config.status: linking src/x86/ffitarget.h to include/ffitarget.h config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands config.status: executing include commands config.status: executing src commands config/autoconf.mk is unchanged
出现这些信息，并且尾部没有其他信息了，则表示编译成功了。编译成功后,一般这个文件
/opt/firefox-3.7/obj-i686-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/filefox
就是可执行目标了
整个编译时间大概1H...
