<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p><strong>Q:</strong> Why do we ever need to build XULRunner?</p><p><strong>A:</strong> There is no official build of XULRunner for Linux x86-64. We have to build it ourself.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h3 style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 4px; font-size: 14pt;">Prerequisites</h3><p>You need some libraries to build XULRunner. If you are using Ubuntu, execute:</p><p>> sudo apt-get build-dep firefox</p><p>> sudo apt-get install mercurial libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libnotify-dev libxt-dev libiw-dev mesa-common-dev autoconf2.13 yasm</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Prerequisites for other <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites">Linux distributives</a> and <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Build_Documentation#Build_prerequisites">OSes</a>.</p><h3>Getting the source</h3><p>To clone Mozilla 1.9.1 repository, execute:</p><p>> mkdir 191src</p><p><span>> hg clone </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/" target="_blank">http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/</a><span> 191src</span></p><p>> cd 191src</p><p>You may find links to other Mozilla versions <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_(Mercurial)#mozilla-1.9.1_(Firefox_3.5)">here</a>.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Then you need to select a dotversion to build:</p><p>> hg tags</p><p>It prints a long list of tags:</p><p>...</p><p>FIREFOX_3_5_17_RELEASE         27311:d5eeb3c15214</p><p>...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Let's select the most recent release.
