Use the :ref:`mozilla_projects_nss_building` page for more + recent information. + + Numerous optional features of NSS builds are controlled through make variables. + + gmake is GNU make, usually your Linux-distro-regular "make" binary file, unless maybe it is a BSD + make. Make variables may be set on the gmake command line, e.g., + + .. code:: + + gmake variable=value variable=value target1 target2 + + or defined in the environment, e.g. (for POSIX shells), + + .. code:: + + variable=value; export variable + gmake target1 target2 + + Here are some (not all) of the make variables that affect NSS builds: + + - BUILD_OPT: If set to 1, means do optimized non-DEBUG build. Default is DEBUG, non-optimized + build. + - USE_DEBUG_RTL: If set to 1, on Windows, causes build with debug version of the C run-time + library. + - NS_USE_GCC: On platforms where gcc is not the native compiler, tells NSS to build with gcc + instead of the native compiler. Default is to build with the native compiler. + - USE_64: On platforms that support both 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs, tells NSS to build for the + 64-bit ABI. Default is 32-bit ABI, except on platforms that do not support a 32-bit ABI. + - MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS: tells NSS to build with debug symbols, even in an optimized build. On + windows, in both DEBUG and optimized builds, when using MSVC, tells NSS to put symbols in a + .pdb file. Required to build with MSVC 8 (2005 Express). Default is not to put debug symbols + into optimized builds, and for MSVC, is to put symbols into the .exe or .dll file. + - NSDISTMODE: If set to 'copy', mozilla/dist/<OBJ_STUFF>/bin/\* real files instead of symbolic + links. + + These variables should be either undefined, or set to "1". Results are undefined for variables + set to "0". + + For Windows, install + the `MozillaBuild <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites#mozillabuild>`__ environment + and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. (The free edition works, and other versions like Visual Studio + 2008 and Visual Studio 2012 may also work.) Use start-shell-msvc2010.bat from MozillaBuild to get + a bash shell with the PATH already configured, and execute these instructions from within that + bash shell. + + For RHEL-5, you need to use the new assembler. You can install the new assembler as root as + follows: + + .. code:: + + yum install binutils220 + + You can then use the new assembler by adding /usr/libexec/binutils220 to the beginning of your + build path. This can be done in sh or bash as follows: + + .. code:: + + export PATH=/usr/libexec/binutils220:$PATH + + The following build instructions should work for all platforms (with some platform-specific + changes as noted). + +.. _build_instructions_for_recent_versions_(mercurial): + +`Build Instructions for Recent Versions (Mercurial) <#build_instructions_for_recent_versions_(mercurial)>`__ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. container:: + + #.
