K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I installed Visual Studio 2010, but I dont compile K-Meleon.
Please send me step-by-step manual, how is build new version. Older manual is not working.
Thank you.
What is not working. Give old manual link and tell exactly where You are stuck.
Maybe wiki manual can be updated.
You never get support send by mail from this forum.
pozdravy / greetings
I got this errors if I compilled project:
I need compile portable version. How it is possible?
Thank you
You did not answer my question.
Again. Which old manual from which link/URL did You use?
Your errors look like You did not first compile Mozilla sources or do not have them in the place where Your compiler searches for them.
Else You used a different Mozilla version than You need for the specific K-Meleon You want to compile and some source files are not present for that reason.
Every K-Meleon is portable on USB or other media by default.
Or explain what You mean with portable.
You can only use English or German to explain to me.
p.s. The last K-Meleon I compiled was an 1.6. AFAIK: That manual and the one for updating 1.5 GRE is the youngest and most detailed manual. But I think the procedure will still be used in the same or similar way.
I'm trying to redo the build process of kmeleon, integrating it in the mozilla tree, but that's still not working well.
So I've uploaded the SDK, the one provided by mozilla may not work.
SDK for 75
SDK for 76 (will pull kmeleon sources in the repo soon)
It must be extracted at same level than kmeleon source so you have:
|
|- k-meleon
|- xulrunner-sdk
|- release <-- binaries will be put here

1.) Will it become Unix style build process like the mozilla source. Or stay MS VC build process?
2.) I asked so funny because I think I know the kind of errors listed.
If all is not found it is usually not in the right place. If the SDK makes problems only some required items are not found.
p.s. I made every possible mistake when I learned how to build a long time ago.
I updated the BuildKmeleon page to build the GRE for 1.6. and 1.6. But except for the changed VC version it should still work?

Both way will be possible, but command line could be better and build locales. That's the difficult part.
Probably not. You need a new patch, new mozconfig, different command to build and now source use mercurial instead of cvs.
1.) Thank You. Command line will be a great advance IMHO.
2.) I do not have the patch. I will probably need it to update the page?
I already build a FF GRE contemporary to 74. But I downloaded a source tarball and did not draw the source from a repository. So it would be good to know Your changes - so that a building info is more like official parameters build. My mozconfig will probably not create a GRE suitable for K-Meleon.

Nearly forgot about this :p
Patch for 38 is now in the repository.
https://sourceforge.net/p/kmeleon/source/ci/default/tree/k-meleon/mozilla.patch
As for my mozconfig, the optimization options I was using with 2010 create a crashing build with 2013 (compiler is bugged). Therefore I switched to a PGO build (--enable-profile-guided-optimization used by firefox). It eats all the RAM of my PC, fails randomly and take forever to finish :\
mozconfig for 76
mozconfig for 75
