I've never compiled Firefox before and this was long and painful for me, so hopefully this can help anyone in a similar situation.
Of course, the PepperPad comes with a built version of Firefox, but I needed to use the html <canvas> element for playing with dynamic graphics drawing, and it seems the built-in Firefox did not have the canvas element - the about:buildconfig shows that the canvas option was not enabled. So I wanted to do a new build that had the canvas support.

[edit] Steps to build Firefox
- Firstly, get the Firefox source. I got the 1.5.0.3 build at
Extract it somewhere. I put in the root home directory at first, but the compiler complained with "no such file or directory" errors when it used the "touch" command during the build. Maybe it had trouble expanding the path "~/" tilde character, because the errors went away once I moved the source to /home/mozilla.
- Make a .mozconfig file to configure the build. I made one that had:
- all the configure/build options from the built-in Firefox (by looking at about:buildconfig - very useful!)
- plus "--enable-canvas" to add canvas support
- plus "--enable-chrome-format=flat" to avoid building jars (for building chrome stuff). During the build process it always crashed on building jars - it seems the built-in "zip" utility (minizip?) was only able to create new jars, and couldn't add files to an existing jar, and that didn't work for building Firefox
The .mozconfig I used is shown at the bottom of this page.
It might be handy to have a quick look at the file (with vi or cat or something) to make sure the file doesn't have funny line endings (at first I had some weird characters on the ends).
Put the .mozconfig in your HOME directory, or set the MOZCONFIG environment variable to point to the file.
- Make sure all the necessary RPMs are installed for compiling. I installed these RPMs (from /opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/xscale_le/packages/pro):
- gcc-3.3.1-3.0.13.0400526.arm_xscale_le.mvl
- glibc-dev-2.3.2-25.0.27.0500612.arm_xscale_le.mv
- g++-3.3.1-3.0.13.0400526.arm_xscale_le.mvl
- libstdc++5
- libstdc++5-dev
- glib-dev
Install using:
rpm -Uvh [package-file]
- Install and set up pkg-config: (otherwise the build complains pkg-config is missing)
- Install pkg-config from http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/ (I got pkg-config-0.20.tar.gz)
- Set the pkg-config environment variable so pkg-config can find the GTK library and pkgconfig files:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/fdo/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gtk/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
- If you build now, pkgconfig will complain it can't find the libIDL config files. So create a file "libIDL-2.0.pc" in /usr/lib/pkgconfig (or somewhere in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH). The libIDL-2.0.pc I used is at the bottom of this page (it's just copied from the normal pkgconfig).
- Download the libIDL source from http://andrewtv.org/libIDL/ to get the IDL.h file from the source distribution. Make a directory /usr/lib/libIDL and copy IDL.h to /usr/lib/libIDL/IDL.h
- Install and set up libiconv (otherwise it says it can't find libiconv.so)
- Install libiconv from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
- Set these environment variables:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib (this has to be set when running firefox too!) export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -liconv" (otherwise it had problems finding libiconv)
- Edit fpkcs11t.h at mozilla/security/nss/lib/fortcrypt/fpkcs11t.h - it seems at line 329, this file has a bunch of weird characters (blocks, strange encoded characters) inside a comment. Just delete all the weird characters so that it's a normal comment. Otherwise the build complains about stray characters.
Now, finally, the build might work (cross your fingers). So move to the source root directory and have a go:
make -f client.mk build
It took over 8 hours to build it (I stopped waiting around after 8 hours). I hope that's not normal...
[edit] Running the new build
For me the easiest thing was to put something like this into the ~/.bashrc file so you don't have to set the paths every time:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib alias ff="/home/mozilla/ff-opt-static/dist/bin/firefox" (or where ever the build is)
Then you can just type "ff" at the prompt to run the freshly built firefox. :)
The application takes a little while to start up ... maybe 30 seconds or more.
