James:
OK, I got past that point by doing this:
CC=gcc44 gcc=gcc44 CXX=g++44 make -j 3 -f client.mk build
which runs for quite a while
it eventually ends with a bazillion lines about nothing to do for
directory export, finally followed by some sort of error failure. I
haven't figured out yet what that failure is.
Running it again, incorporating some of the stuff you've done in your
mozconfig--but not all of it.
For example, I don't think you want it to be on the release update
channel,... wouldn't that cause the firefox update logic to automatically
clobber your build with the next automatic update? which resulting
Firefox then won't work--the whole reason why we're doing our own builds.
[later...] Ah, it seems to have completed a build, now.
next dumb question: I recall from when I've built it (years) in the
past that there's a tool, somewhere, for creating an installable .tgz
file, like the one we can download from mozilla. so far I haven't
tripped over it in 18.0.1, do you happen to know what that is?
thanks a bunch for all your guidance,I really appreciate it!
Fred
