Me too :) Every morning I'd pull from their source repo and build my own |
| 6 |
and then file bug reports (there were thousands of bugs to report) until |
| 7 |
I got tired of adding to the mile-high stack of other ignored bug reports |
| 8 |
and quit. Amazing how much I've forgotten since then :( |

About halfway down that webpage I spotted this line, and it rang a bell: |
| 13 |
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2 |
| 14 |
(I think I recall adding CFLAGS to that line, but it's pretty fuzzy now. |

And you would probably want to set this to $HOME, as you mentioned: |
| 17 |
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr |
| 18 |
|

You can also add mk_add_options="-j4" and similar stuff to .mozconfig |
| 20 |
if you want. |

You can try entering 'about:buildconfig' in firefox or seamonkey to see |
| 23 |
what sort of stuff the mozilla devs use to build their own binaries. |
