== Artifact builds (or: building faster!) == | |||
If you are '''not''' going to modify any C/C++ code, you could use artifact builds. This method downloads prebuilt components, and then the build process becomes faster. | |||
Essentially, add the following lines to your .mozconfig file: | |||
# Automatically download and use compiled C++ components: | |||
ac_add_options --enable-artifact-builds | |||
# Write build artifacts to: | |||
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=./objdir-frontend | |||
And then you can follow the normal build process. | |||
For more information on aspects such as technical limitations, read the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Artifact_builds Artifact Builds] page. | |||
