What this is About

This document explains "How to build Mobile Firefox for Meego Netbook Platform".

Versions

This is written for Meego 1.1 SDK. Target Device is the Lenovo Ideapad. Target Platform is the Intel Netbook Release.

Setup your Netbook

I use a Lenovo Ideapad S10-3t supporting multitouch. This is the recommended target device of Intel. Follow Instructions

Presteps, Install the SDK on your System

Add the package respository of the SDK to your system: (see source for more)

On Ubuntu or Debian

1. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meego-sdk.list.
   Replace ${distribution}/${version} with one of the following: "debian/5.0", "ubuntu/09.10", "ubuntu/10.04" or "ubuntu/10.10".

   deb http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/sdk/host/repos/${distribution}/${version}/ / 

2. Add the repository public key:

   $ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A

   $ gpg --export --armor 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A | sudo apt-key add -

3. Update the packages database:

   $ sudo apt-get update

4. To check that the MeeGo repository has been correctly added, run the following command. The details of the MADDE package should be printed.

   $ apt-cache policy madde

• Install

  $ sudo apt-get install meego-sdk

On openSUSE

• To add the MeeGo repository, run the following command.
  Replace ${distribution}/${version} with one of the following values: "opensuse/11.2" or "opensuse/11.3".

  $ sudo zypper addrepo -f http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/sdk/host/repos/${distribution}/${version}/meego-sdk.repo

• Install

  $ sudo zypper install meego-sdk

Configure SDK

Download the mozilla-meego-assistant script from this website.

1. Download File:Mozilla-meego-sdk-helper.tar.gz
   
2. untar the tarbal
   
   (the meego-assistant script, will create a mount point and a working directory in the local directory!) you can edit the place by changing the variables in the script.)
   

3. sudo ./meego-assistant install

Steps

1. sudo ./meego-assistant login

   On first start this actually does the final configuration of the Image. Like downloading basic build dependencies, installing mercurial and autoconf2.13.
2. Get Mozilla Sources and apply Meego Developer Patches on it

Known Issues

Crash on Start

Issues with Mesa Drivers. Starting in EGL accelerated version does not work. Fennec is crashing with:

Mesa 7.9 implementation error: glIndexPointer should be mapped to 336, not 314
Please report at bugzilla.freedesktop.org
Mesa 7.9 implementation error: glUniformMatrix4fv should be mapped to 337, not 485
Please report at bugzilla.freedesktop.org

Solution: Disable hardware acceleration within mobile.js

Multitouch

Multitouch is not working in meego.com release TBI

Flash Renderspeed

For some people the Renderspeed with native is really slow, it seems to get better when using this for starting fennec:
