- ========================
- Supported Configurations
- ========================
- This page attempts to document supported build configurations.
- Windows
- =======
- We support building on Windows XP and newer operating systems using
- Visual Studio 2010 and newer.
- The following are not fully supported by Mozilla (but may work):
- * Building without the latest *MozillaBuild* Windows development
- environment
- * Building with Mingw or any other non-Visual Studio toolchain.
- OS X
- ====
- We support building on OS X 10.6 and newer with the OS X 10.6 SDK.
- The tree should build with the following OS X releases and SDK versions:
- * 10.6 Snow Leopard
- * 10.7 Lion
- * 10.8 Mountain Lion
- * 10.9 Mavericks
- The tree requires building with Clang 3.3 and newer. This corresponds to
- version of 4.2 of Apple's Clang that ships with Xcode. This corresponds
- to Xcode 4.6 and newer. Xcode 4.6 only runs on OS X 10.7.4 and newer.
- So, OS X 10.6 users will need to install a non-Apple toolchain. Running
- ``mach bootstrap`` should install an appropriate toolchain from Homebrew
- or MacPorts automatically.
- The tree should build with GCC 4.4 and newer on OS X. However, this
- build configuration isn't as widely used (and differs from what Mozilla
- uses to produce OS X builds), so it's recommended to stick with Clang.
- Linux
- =====
- Linux 2.6 and later kernels are supported.
- Most distributions are supported as long as the proper package
- dependencies are in place. Running ``mach bootstrap`` should install
- packages for popular Linux distributions. ``configure`` will typically
- detect missing dependencies and inform you how to disable features to
- work around unsatisfied dependencies.
- Clang 3.3 or GCC 4.4 is required to build the tree.
