     4 Supported Configurations

     5 ========================

     7 This page attempts to document supported build configurations.

     9 Windows

    10 =======

    12 We support building on Windows XP and newer operating systems using

    13 Visual Studio 2010 and newer.

    15 The following are not fully supported by Mozilla (but may work):

    17 * Building without the latest *MozillaBuild* Windows development

    18   environment

    19 * Building with Mingw or any other non-Visual Studio toolchain.

    21 OS X

    22 ====

    24 We support building on OS X 10.6 and newer with the OS X 10.6 SDK.

    26 The tree should build with the following OS X releases and SDK versions:

    28 * 10.6 Snow Leopard

    29 * 10.7 Lion

    30 * 10.8 Mountain Lion

    31 * 10.9 Mavericks

    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.

    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.

    44 Linux

    45 =====

    47 Linux 2.6 and later kernels are supported.

    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.

    55 Clang 3.3 or GCC 4.4 is required to build the tree.
