Modifying mozilla source

Posted by awmcclain on 2008-03-03 22:56

There's some discussion about it here, but I want to be clear about how to compile changes into the mozilla build.

Specifically, how do I recompile it? Using bk build mozilla?
make -f client.mk doesn't work unless you specify a module to cvs co (which I don't want to do since it will blitz out my changes).

Also, eventually I'll want to bundle my changes and put them in the patch directory, correct?

Is there a wiki about this anywhere?

The basics of doing a build from source are all in the README.txt:

http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/view/openkomodo/trunk/README.txt

Note that this will require that you have a build environment set up on your system. If you have more specific questions and/or run into problems, please post back.

I've read the README; I have a complete build working. There's nothing in the readme about recompiling Mozilla (rather than Komodo) in there.
