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