Add build docs
McCoy includes binary components required for working with cryptographic keys. This means that it is unfortunately necessary to build as part of a regular Mozilla build process. The rest of this page assumes you have an understanding of how to build a Mozilla app, preferable XULRunner.

=Initial Requirements=

You must checkout a copy of the Mozilla trunk with XULRunner (MOZ_CO_PROJECTS=xulrunner), see [[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Source_Code_(CVS)|getting the source code by CVS]] for further information.

You must also checkout a copy of McCoy into mozilla/mccoy. To do this from the mozilla directory type:

svn co http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mccoy/trunk

Or change trunk to the appropriate branch/tag you need.

=Regular Builds=

For most platforms McCoy can be built using a single mozconfig:

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize

mk_add_options MOZ_BUILD_PROJECTS="xulrunner mccoy"
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../mccoybase

ac_add_app_options xulrunner --enable-application=xulrunner
ac_add_app_options xulrunner --disable-installer

ac_add_app_options mccoy --enable-application=mccoy
ac_add_app_options mccoy --with-libxul-sdk=../xulrunner/dist

This will build in two passes. The first being a full build of XULRunner in mccoybase/xulrunner, the second building McCoy into mccoybase/mccoy. Note that despite the argument name, a full build of XULRunner is required, the libxul-sdk is not enough on its own.

To package up McCoy change to mccoybase/mccoy and type <code>make package</code>

=OSX Universal Builds=

If you wish to build an OSX universal build then the process is complicated slightly. You need two mozconfig files, one to compile a universal XULRunner and the second to compile the universal McCoy:

For XULRunner:

. $topsrcdir/build/macosx/universal/mozconfig
ac_add_app_options ppc --enable-prebinding

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../mccoybase/xulrunner

ac_add_options --enable-application=xulrunner
ac_add_options --disable-installer

For McCoy:

. $topsrcdir/build/macosx/universal/mozconfig
ac_add_app_options ppc --enable-prebinding

ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../mccoybase/mccoy

ac_add_options --enable-application=mccoy
ac_add_app_options ppc --with-libxul-sdk=../xulrunner/ppc/dist
ac_add_app_options i386 --with-libxul-sdk=../xulrunner/i386/dist

Packaging should be possible by running <code>make package</code> in mccoybase/mccoy/ppc
