Hi, Episode 1 was the "You want faster builds, don't you" thread. Episode 2 was the "Faster builds, now" thread. Here comes episode 3.
I'm sure fellow developers building on Windows felt sad that they were left out on the recent build improvements. Rejoice at last, as we are now bringing those to you. As of current mozilla-inbound, and I'm sure mozilla-central soon, it only takes a few steps: - Download the mozmake binary from http://people.mozilla.org/~mhommey/mozmake.exe and place it in some location in your $PATH. c:\mozilla-build\msys\local\bin is probably good for most people. See bug 927213 if you want to know how it was built. It will eventually be shipped in next release of MozillaBuild. - Add the following to your mozconfig: export MOZ_PSEUDO_DERECURSE=no-pymake (Note this should become the default next week) - Build with: ./mach build After you built once, you can do edit-compile-edit-compile cycles with: ./mach build binaries Enjoy the faster build times. Cheers, Mike PS: mozmake is also being tested on the birch branch, and it is showing promising turnaround times on Windows build slaves (-35 minutes on opt builds, -1 hour on debug builds ; most of which is, surprisingly, is gained on make check, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=925605#c13 ) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
