== Creating a .mozconfig ==

The .mozconfig file contains the options that will be used to build firefox.
 
The first line includes the default configuration for compiling and the second line determines where the build objects are going to reside.

Having '''--with-system-nss''' and '''--with-system-nspr''' does not mean you *HAVE* to have a system installed version of nss and nspr. It makes the build system prefer to use the system installed version of nss and nspr over the internal version.

'''--enable-canvas''' enables support for the <canvas></canvas> tag.

'''--enable-svg''' enables support for rendering svg files.

'''--disable-tests''' prevents test programs from being built which saves a lot of disk space and time.

'''--disable-installer''' prevents the installer from being built.
{{#if:{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|browser|y}}{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|mail|y}}{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|calendar/sunbird|y}}|'''--enable-official-branding''' causes the installed binaries to have the official Firefox name embedded in them. Due to license restrictions, you may not distribute binaries created using this option.

{{#if:{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|browser|y}}|If you have [[XULRunner]] installed and you want to use the system installed version, add the following:

 cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF"
 ac_add_options --with-system-libxul --with-libxul-sdk=/opt/xulrunner-{{XULRunner-Version}}/lib/xulrunner-devel-{{XULRunner-Version}}
 EOF

If you would like dual monitor support, append your your '''.mozconfig''' with the following:

 cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF"
 ac_add_options --enable-xinerama
 EOF

If you would like to render fonts with [[Pango]], append your your '''.mozconfig''' with the following. This can significantly slow font rendering.

 cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF"
 ac_add_options --enable-pango
 EOF

If you do not have [[JDK]] installed then add the following to your '''.mozconfig''':

 cat >> .mozconfig << "EOF"
 ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom
