Redhat x64 Build Instructions

We currently use ScientificLinux 6.5 on x64 to do our official builds of Mozilla Stumbler.

You'll need to install some x86 compatibility packages to get everything running:

 sudo yum install glibc.i686
 sudo yum install zlib.i686
 sudo yum install libstdc++.i686

We use the official Oracle JDK 7u75 for x64 as our JDK to build.

You can grab the RPM for that over here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Make sure you get the x64 RPM. Once you have that you just issue:

sudo yum install ./jdk-7u75-linux-x64.rpm

Our own ScientificLinux came with a copy of the OpenJDK 1.6 runtime installed, but that is probably a Mozilla specific thing. We had to remove that or else the build system gets confused which java byte format to use. So we remove OpenJDK with:

sudo yum remove java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64

Set your JAVA_HOME and add JAVA_HOME to your executable path:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_75
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Now you're ready to clone and build the system.

git clone git@github.com:mozilla/MozStumbler.git
cd MozStumbler
make clean; make test

It's important that you run either make clean or make debug. We use an Android deployer to setup your Android SDK for you, but you need to run make clean or make debug to get that to run the first time.
