I am able to build Mozilla from the CVS, but I don't have a clue how to
dissentangle the source from the final product other than to pick through
all the files and try to do it by hand. Most GNU related stuff has a make
install. What I really want to do is to build on one machine, and install
on another. The ideal situation would be to use the same kind of xpi
method that mozilla.org uses and install over the network. I really don't
have a lot of time to spend learing the details of this right now. I'm
working on learning to _PROGRAM_ in JavaScript (as opposed to scripting). I
like to know that I can fetch and build Mozilla because I hope to become
more involved with development in the future.
I don't like the fact that I end up with a big ol' source tree sitting on
my production box. I'm a bit limited on HD space. I tried running by
accessing the executables over NFS, but that seems to cause me problems
sometimes. Is there a quick and effective way to install the bits to a
system similar to the traditional make install?
Thanks
