This document | This is to document helpful tips for Collaborans who must wrestle with building the Mozilla source on different platforms. | ||
( | Collaborans are interested in building code from the Electrolysis project (E10s) on a machine on which Scratchbox is also installed, on which the Maemo SDK can be installed, and on which one can cross-compile to the ARM architecture. | ||
= XEN IMAGE = | |||
One route to the desired build environment is to obtain a virtual machine image that is properly configured. robin_bb is developing such an image. It is available here: | |||
[http://people.collabora.co.uk/~robinbb/lenny-32.img.bz2 here]. | |||
To use that image, you'll need the [http://www.xen.org/ Xen virtual machine]. While installing Xen is quite an ordeal, it is significantly easier than configuring the build environment described above! | |||
= VIRTUALBOX IMAGE = | |||

The scratchbox '_X86' targets don't add extra value to the build and since your SB build environment might not be as complete So there's really little need for the XXX_X86 targets in Scratchbox. When you want to build for X86 processors, do it directly from your preferred linux console. | The scratchbox '_X86' targets don't add extra value to the build and since your SB build environment might not be as complete So there's really little need for the XXX_X86 targets in Scratchbox.
