firefox源代码编译

1)  Download Mozilla Source Code Source code for releases is available for download via FTP/HTTP.
2) for Windows, do all the things below:

• If you're using Windows XP, you must have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and .NET Framework 2.0 .
• Install Visual C++ 2005 or 2008. Both the professional edition and the express edition will work.
• You may need to install one or more Windows SDKs. See Windows SDK versions for a quick guide.
• Install MozillaBuild , a package of additional build tools. (If you get a message saying this application did not install properly then you should see a windows dialog giving you the option to re-install with the 'correct settings'. After that all should be well.)
• Open a shell window by running: c:/mozilla-build/start-msvcX.bat (where X is 8 for VS 2005, and 9 for VS 2008). Even if you're on 64-bit Windows, do not use the files ending in -x64.bat .

attention:  install MozillaBuild is a key.
