LibreWolf for Win64
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
This repository is still a work in progress.
|
|
|
|
But we have a zip file and an installer available for testing right now..
|
|
|
|
Download link to this prerelease is:
|
|
* Zip file is: [librewolf-85.0.en-US.win64.zip](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/uploads/5e9d436515d315d4e8953f88bf02bd99/librewolf-85.0.en-US.win64.zip).
|
|
* The installer is: [librewolf-85.0.en-US.win64-setup.exe](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/uploads/ec6f7e7dc1096bf7730f503d856d3a9f/librewolf-85.0.en-US.win64-setup.exe).
|
|
|
|
Note: If your version of LibreWolf does _not_ run, an additional install of the [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632) might be required.
|
|
|
|
Please consult the file **KNOWN_ISSUES.md** above, to see if your issue is already reported.

|
Building the package:
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
For now, if you want to attempt to build, this build does require you to:
|
|
|
|
* First build the mozilla-unified as explained in the mozilla docs, using all the ./mach bootstrap stuff
|
|
* You can delete this mozilla-unified thing to save some space (try ./mach run on it just for fun)
|
|
* Then clone the windows repo:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows.git
|
|
```
|
|
* cd into it, and build with:
|
|
```
|
|
bash build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
* You can perform each of the build steps individually and the overall script structure follows PKGBULD as used on Archlinux
|
|
* This will produce a **librewolf-85.0.en-US.win64.zip** in this windows folder.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
build.sh
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can perform all the steps on one go, or perform the build steps individually, to note:
|
|
```
|
|
bash build.sh fetch prepare build package installer_win
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To do:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Listing known issues in this README.md
|
|
* Branding issues.
|
|
* Improve this README.md to contain better, detailed instructions on how to build.
|
|
* problem with old sed. does not recognize -z. using the one from Git might be a work around.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Branding issue(s): resource files
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* This section is just some notes.
|
|
* 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
