-------------------------------------------------------
follow the instructions in *Building* section:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/Building_Boot_to_Gecko
**NOTES**
I had to use the following commands to successfully build on my Macbook Pro.
1. type "ccache -M --max-size=0" & press enter, this creates an unlimited
buffer size for the building process
2. type "ccache -C" & press enter, this will clear the build cache
3. type "./build.sh -j2" & press enter, this tells the build script to only use
2 CPU cores (you can use -jX to specify the number of cores you wish to use or
just type "./build.sh" to use all of your CPU cores).
I found that the build would lock up when using "./build.sh" but had no
problems building with "./build.sh -j2".
If you keep running into problems while attempting your build you can use
"./build.sh -j1 showcommand" to force the build to run on 1 core (no parallel
processing) and get a verbose output in the terminal of what is happening
during the build process.
Another problem that I ran into was that the B2G repo was not always stable; I
keep updating to the latest repo over the span of a week before I was able to
get a copy of the source that would successfully build.
