Mozilla Linux Build Prerequisites

Mozilla Linux Build Prerequisites

Build Tools

A recent POSIX Shell
A C++ compiler. GCC 3.2 or higher is recommended, or your platform's native C/C++ compiler.
Perl 5.6 or higher Older perl versions may work if you upgrade File::Spec to version 0.8
GNU make 3.79.1 or higher. Other varieties of "make" will not work.
CVS 1.11 or higher
A widget toolkit. GTK2 is the "standard" toolkit, and GTK (1.2.0 or higher) is also well-tested. QT and plain xlib configure options are available, but they not well tested or supported.
libIDL 0.6.3 or higher Source snapshots are available from Mozilla via ftp. If using the RPMs, you'll need both the regular rpm and the -devel rpm. If you already have ORBit installed, then you do not need to install libIDL as ORBit bundles libIDL. You may need to install the ORBit-devel package if you use packages.
zip 2.3 (or higher)
freetype 2.1.0 (or higher)
fontconfig
pkgconfig 0.9.0 (or higher)
