Error 1 I'm not sure about this one. It might be a path length issue. It's hard to tell without the full log. The last two lines hardly give any context. Try what I sent in the previous mail ($ mkdir /c/Build) or if that doesn't help mail some more log/context.
1) I had to set QTcore4.dll PATH environment variable 2) The zlib version you hard-coded (1.2.6) is out of date These issues indicate you're not using my personal-build branch, since both are fixed in that.
3) I got an error while installing QT: "The installer could not find a valid C:\MinGW\include\w32api.h (Only versions with W32API 3.13 are supported)". I didn't do anything to fix this error. I'm on 64 bit, if that matters. This is a known issue with Qt, it's only a warning and everything works fine regardless. It's documented in ./build-scripts/INSTALL if I remember correctly.
4) Running your 'make -f build...' command (from the above quote) from C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\USERNAME\torbrowser gives the the following error. So, I had to cd into /build-scripts/ and then run 'make -f windows.mk...' You can either cd into build-scripts or use -f build-scripts/windows.mk instead. I prefer the former. The problem was that I assumed the people testing it would be somewhat familiar with the build process. My mistake
P.S. I hammered together your personal-build repo, with torbrowser.git [0], using TortoiseGit. But that's inefficient and clumsy. I tried many ways to 'add' your personal-build repo using msysGit, following your directions I quoted above, but I always failed. Could you please e-mail a quick and dirty step-by-step for using msysGit wrt your personal-build repo? E.g., #1. $git clone torbrowser.git..., #2. $git add shondoit's_personal-build..., #3. $git checkout... ? $ git remote add shondoit git://git.torproject.org/user/shondoit/torbrowser.git $ git checkout -t shondoit/personal-build But you got that from my last mail already.
P.P.S. Because you wrote you want this tested on Windows XP, and I am currently unsure how to solve the build problem on Windows 7, I'm going to test your process on a fresh install of Windows XP SP3, on a clean VM (using VirutalBox). Hopefully, by the time I test on Windows XP, someone smarter than me can provide a solution for the above Firefox 12 build issue. For my personal gain I would love it if you did both, but I understand that you want to make it work first. No worries.
