Initial Experience
Following https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Simple_Firefox_build
I am building on Fedora 10.
- libnotify-devel missing (error: something about libnotify.pc not being found)
- Missing iwlib.h. Followed suggestion of installing wireless-tools-devel
- And that's it! Far better than the last time I tried compiling FF (on another machine).
It took about half an hour for a full build (not bad!) and 1.5 minutes for a clean rebuild (bad).
Now I've switched to Fedora 13 on a fast machine. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to build time.
Visual Studio 2005

Virus Checkers
On any version of Windows, online/realtime virus checkers fire off every time you start a program. When using shell-based tools, such as configure, this murders performance. So you'll want to disable anything you possibly can.
In Windows 7, I got a big gain out of turning off the realtime component of Windows Defender (it's in the control panel.)
