Creating Toolchain Archives
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
There are various scripts in the repository for producing archives
|
|
of the build tools (e.g. compilers and linkers) required to build.
|
|
|
|
Clang
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
See the ``build/build-clang`` directory. Read ``build/build-clang/README``
|
|
for more.
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The ``build/windows_toolchain.py`` script is used to build and manage
|
|
Windows toolchain archives containing Visual Studio executables, SDKs,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
The way Firefox build automation works is an archive containing the
|
|
toolchain is produced and uploaded to an internal Mozilla server. The
|
|
build automation will download, verify, and extract this archive before
|
|
building. The archive is self-contained so machines don't need to install
|
|
Visual Studio, SDKs, or various other dependencies. Unfortunately,
|
|
Microsoft's terms don't allow Mozilla to distribute this archive
|
|
publicly. However, the same tool can be used to create your own copy.
|
|
|
|
Configuring Your System
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
It is **highly** recommended to perform this process on a fresh installation
|
|
of Windows 7 or 10 (such as in a VM). Installing all updates through
|
|
Windows Update is not only acceptable - it is encouraged. Although it
|
|
shouldn't matter.
|
|
|
|
Next, install Visual Studio 2015 Community. The download link can be
|
|
found at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx.
|
|
Be sure to follow these install instructions:
|
|
|
|
1. Choose a ``Custom`` installation and click ``Next``
|
|
2. Select ``Programming Languages`` -> ``Visual C++`` (make sure all sub items are
|
|
selected)
|
|
3. Under ``Windows and Web Development`` uncheck everything except
|
|
``Universal Windows App Development Tools`` and the items under it
|
|
(should be ``Tools (1.3.1)...`` and the ``Windows 10 SDK``).
|
|
|
|
Once Visual Studio 2015 Community has been installed, from a checkout
|
|
of mozilla-central, run something like the following to produce a ZIP
|
|
archive::
|
|
|
|
$ ./mach python build/windows_toolchain.py create-zip vs2015u3
|
|
|
|
The produced archive will be the argument to ``create-zip`` + ``.zip``.
