Just some notes

Once you have built the entire mozilla-unified with all the mach bootstrap stuff (which will install the needed binaries in $HOME/.mozbuild), don't forget to copy the entire C:\Program Files\Git folder to /c/mozilla-source to get a sed.exe that understands the -z option, and to get sha256sum.exe.

To build, one should use the following command in the checked out windows repo:

$ time bash build.sh fetch prepare build package

the final .zip is in: C:\mozilla-source\windows

  • problem with old sed. does not recognize -z. using the one from Git might be a work around.

BRANDING: resource files

  • build fail on missing stubinstaller (might be a FF bug as it should just take missing stuff from the nightly branding folder?)
$ mkdir stubinstaller
$ cp bgstub.jpg stubinstaller
$ pwd
/c/mozilla-source/firefox-85.0/browser/branding/librewolf
$

* checking all the different files in nightly and librewolf

$ cd nightly
$ find . | sort > /c/mozilla-source/branding-nightly.txt
$ cd ../librewolf/
$ find . | sort > /c/mozilla-source/branding-librewolf.txt


$ diff branding-nightly.txt branding-librewolf.txt
