Unix Build Instructions

Requirements:

  Memory:
    32MB of RAM, 128MB of swap, recommended 64MB of RAM.

  Tools:
    GNU C/C++ compiler 2.7.2 or better
    GNU make 3.74 or better
    Motif 1.2 (Lestif has been used with limited success)

  Tools that will be helpful later:
    Perl 5.0
    CVS 1.8.1
    RCS
    gdb 4.16

  NOTE:
    * gcc version 2.8 has been used successfully.
      Your mileage may vary.

Build:

  Untar the tar.gz file with the following (or your favorite variant thereof):

    gzip -dc tarball.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

  Set the following environment variables:
    csh/tcsh: 
      setenv NO_SECURITY 1
      setenv MOZ_MEDIUM 1
      setenv MOZILLA_CLIENT 1
      setenv NO_MDUPDATE 1

    sh/bash/ksh:
      NO_SECURITY=1
      MOZ_MEDIUM=1
      MOZILLA_CLIENT=1
      NO_MDUPDATE=1
      export NO_SECURITY MOZ_MEDIUM MOZILLA_CLIENT NO_MDUPDATE

  Debug build is default; optimized build:
      setenv BUILD_OPT 1
      (BUILD_OPT=1; export BUILD_OPT)

  Build it.  Default target is "export libs install":
    cd ns
    gmake -k

NOTE:

If you haven't got perl:

setenv PERL /bin/echo

gmake -ek

Run the app:
  Executable lives in ns/cmd/xfe/{ARCHITECTURE}.{DBG|OPT}.OBJ
    (e.g. ns/cmd/xfe/Linux2.0.31_x86_DBG.OBJ/mozilla-export)
  Statically-linked app is "mozilla-export"
  dynamically-linked app is "moz-export"
