Mozilla Build Prerequisites

abstract has all build dependencies that xulrunner does

Mozilla Build Requirements are well documented at mozilla.org. Required tools are widely available. For example, they are present in default installations of Red Hat family of distros.

On Debian/Ubuntu the following minimal list is usually sufficient:

  • apt-build
  • build-essential
  • debhelper
  • fakeroot
  • libmudflap0-dev
  • lsb-core
  • xmlto
  • openssl
  • zip
  • cdbs
  • gnome-core-devel

But if you have build errors and don't want to find their roots, the following command will most probably work:

On Debian

   apt-get build-dep iceweasel

On Ubuntu

   apt-get build-dep firefox
