Perl needs to be installed correctly on the build system because cwd.pm is used. + Preferably, perl version 5.004 or newer should be used. + +2. Mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows needs to be built. + a. to build it, MFC must be installed with VC6 + b. set MOZ_MFC=1 in the build environment + c. run nmake -f makefile.win from the above directory + + +Build.pl requires no parameters. When it finishes, it will have created a +temporary staging area in mozilla\dist\stage to build the .xpi archives from. +The self-extracting installer (mozilla-win32-installer.exe) will be delivered to: + mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install + +The .xpi archives will be delivered to: + mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install\xpi + +Mozilla-win32-installer.exe does not require the .xpi archives once its been created +because they have been packaged up in the .exe file. + +The .xpi archives will also be copied to: + mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install + +This is so setup.exe can install them. Setup.exe is usually run when debugging the +installer code. This makes it easier to debug. +
