Basic Setup and minimal dependencies for toolkit-X-less Gecko build
based on instructions from https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/FirefoxCrossCompile

# Prepare multiarch chroot

sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd precise /home/precise
sudo cp -f /etc/apt/apt.conf /home/precise/etc/apt/
sudo cp -f /etc/resolv.conf /home/precise/etc/
sudo chroot /home/precise/
mount -t proc proc /proc

#Set up the /etc/apt/sources.list inside the chroot :

echo "# use arch=amd64 if you have 32bit Linux install
deb [arch=i386] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe multiverse
deb [arch=armhf] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports precise main universe multiverse
#deb [arch=armhf] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ precise-updates main universe multiverse

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/staging-overlay/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list

#We need some packages not yet in precise, so we create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-maintainers.list

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/overlay/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/overlay/ubuntu precise main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro-maintainers/staging-overlay/ubuntu precise main

" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-maintainers.list

#Enable multiarch for dpkg in in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch 

echo "foreign-architecture armhf" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
 
#In /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10local disable installing recommends:

echo 'APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10local

# Install toolchain and essentials 

apt-get update
apt-get install vim bash-completion
apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf build-essential pkg-config unzip zip autoconf2.13

# Finally, we need to create a symlink for pkg-config:

cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/share/pkg-config-crosswrapper arm-linux-gnueabihf-pkg-config

Prepare Mozilla source tree with Embedding IPC patches and HONK (plain linux port) Clone mozilla repository + patch queue (for IPC Embedding), better to create some folder like /build

mkdir /build
cd /build
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
cd mozilla-central
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/users/romaxa_gmail.com/embedipc_queue .hg/patches
hg update `cat .hg/patches/changeset`
hg qpush -a

Mozilla toolkit-Xlib-less HONK port, b2g, for rendering into Framebuffer

# Install main Mozilla B2G Honk port base dependencies
apt-get install libfreetype6-dev:armhf libfontconfig1-dev:armhf libasound-dev:armhf libudev-dev:armhf

# X deps (only for X build)
apt-get install libxt-dev:armhf libxext-dev:armhf libxrender-dev:armhf

# This part is basically enough to build honk (plain linux gecko port ab be able to run it on Framebuffer or SGX EGL fb context)
cd mozilla-central
MOZCONFIG=$(pwd)/.hg/patches/mozconfig.cross.precise-honk make -f client.mk build_all

To launch b2g clone and copy https://github.com/andreasgal/gaia to your local PC apache /var/www folder or put it into device /var/www folder
Copy b2g stub to device
cp -rfL obj-build-linaro-honk/dist/bin ./b2g-build
arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip ./b2g-build/*
scp -r ./b2g-build/ root@device-ip:/opt
on device:
cd /opt/b2g-build
B2G_HOMESCREEN=http://server[local-server]/gaia/homescreen.html ./b2g

Qt build with X


# Install main Mozilla Qt port dependencies
apt-get install libqt4-dev:armhf libqt4-opengl-dev:armhf libpango1.0-dev:armhf libdbus-glib-1-dev:armhf libasound2-dev:armhf libxt-dev:armhf mesa-common-dev:armhf

# make sure that required build libraries are still in the system
apt-get install pkg-config unzip zip autoconf2.13 libglib2.0-dev 

# XXX Minor trick in order to get host version of qt moc/rcc
# install host qt-dev version, and backup moc/rcc/uic
apt-get install libqt4-dev
cp /usr/bin/moc-qt4 /tmp/
cp /usr/bin/rcc /tmp/
cp /usr/bin/uic-qt4 /tmp/

# install armhf version back
apt-get install libqt4-dev:armhf libqt4-opengl-dev:armhf

# and replace arm version of moc/uic/rcc
cp /tmp/moc-qt4 /usr/bin/moc-qt4
cp /tmp/rcc /usr/bin/rcc
cp /tmp/uic-qt4 /usr/bin/uic-qt4

# Create mozconfig
vi mozconfig.cross.precise
