What are the dependency for mozilla firefox browser build

Asked by santosh

Hello Everybody!

I have downloaded firefox-3.0.10-source.tar.bz2 and unpacked to configure.
I am trying to compile firefox open source code under Linux (version 2.6.18) for embedded device (minimo – small embedded browser).
I am able to configure and build mozilla firefox browser with application name “browser” at .mozconfig file but not with minimo.

.mozconfig (configuration file): configuration for minimo
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=minimo
ac_add_options –enable-application=minimo

I am getting error after ./configure
“configure: error: --enable-application value not recognized (monimo/build.mk does not exist). “

If someone has already worked on similar things, please help.

Regards,
Santosh

Debian packages contain information about what packages are needed to build from source. The following command should install all the build dependencies for firefox:

sudo apt-get build-dep firefox

I hope this helps.

Can you help with this problem?
