| michael@0 | 4 | Supported Configurations |
| michael@0 | 5 | ======================== |
| michael@0 | 6 | |
| michael@0 | 7 | This page attempts to document supported build configurations. |
| michael@0 | 8 | |
| michael@0 | 9 | Windows |
| michael@0 | 10 | ======= |
| michael@0 | 11 | |
| michael@0 | 12 | We support building on Windows XP and newer operating systems using |
| michael@0 | 13 | Visual Studio 2010 and newer. |
| michael@0 | 14 | |
| michael@0 | 15 | The following are not fully supported by Mozilla (but may work): |
| michael@0 | 16 | |
| michael@0 | 17 | * Building without the latest *MozillaBuild* Windows development |
| michael@0 | 18 | environment |
| michael@0 | 19 | * Building with Mingw or any other non-Visual Studio toolchain. |
| michael@0 | 20 | |
| michael@0 | 21 | OS X |
| michael@0 | 22 | ==== |
| michael@0 | 23 | |
| michael@0 | 24 | We support building on OS X 10.6 and newer with the OS X 10.6 SDK. |
| michael@0 | 25 | |
| michael@0 | 26 | The tree should build with the following OS X releases and SDK versions: |
| michael@0 | 27 | |
| michael@0 | 28 | * 10.6 Snow Leopard |
| michael@0 | 29 | * 10.7 Lion |
| michael@0 | 30 | * 10.8 Mountain Lion |
| michael@0 | 31 | * 10.9 Mavericks |
| michael@0 | 32 | |
| michael@0 | 33 | The tree requires building with Clang 3.3 and newer. This corresponds to |
| michael@0 | 34 | version of 4.2 of Apple's Clang that ships with Xcode. This corresponds |
| michael@0 | 35 | to Xcode 4.6 and newer. Xcode 4.6 only runs on OS X 10.7.4 and newer. |
| michael@0 | 36 | So, OS X 10.6 users will need to install a non-Apple toolchain. Running |
| michael@0 | 37 | ``mach bootstrap`` should install an appropriate toolchain from Homebrew |
| michael@0 | 38 | or MacPorts automatically. |
| michael@0 | 39 | |
| michael@0 | 40 | The tree should build with GCC 4.4 and newer on OS X. However, this |
| michael@0 | 41 | build configuration isn't as widely used (and differs from what Mozilla |
| michael@0 | 42 | uses to produce OS X builds), so it's recommended to stick with Clang. |
| michael@0 | 43 | |
| michael@0 | 44 | Linux |
| michael@0 | 45 | ===== |
| michael@0 | 46 | |
| michael@0 | 47 | Linux 2.6 and later kernels are supported. |
| michael@0 | 48 | |
| michael@0 | 49 | Most distributions are supported as long as the proper package |
| michael@0 | 50 | dependencies are in place. Running ``mach bootstrap`` should install |
| michael@0 | 51 | packages for popular Linux distributions. ``configure`` will typically |
| michael@0 | 52 | detect missing dependencies and inform you how to disable features to |
| michael@0 | 53 | work around unsatisfied dependencies. |
| michael@0 | 54 | |
| michael@0 | 55 | Clang 3.3 or GCC 4.4 is required to build the tree. |
