I would recommend VM's though so that you can roll back to a snapshot if something goes wrong. >> Don't forget to set-up Git (git config [...]), clone >> torbrowser.git, add my personal repo, checkout 'personal-build' > > Could you please expand on this? I haven't used Git via mingw and I > don't much feel like taking the time to RTFM ;) Git via mingw is pretty much the same as regular git. If you've never used Git before, I highly recommend to get the basics: http://gitref.org After you start mingw do the following. Please try to understand what every command does. # Setting up Git (Change name/email if needed) $ git config --global user.name "John Crain" $ git config --global user.email "[email protected]" # Set up TBB build folder $ mkdir /c/Build $ cd /c/Build $ git clone git://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git $ cd torbrowser # Add my personal repo and check out the 'personal-build' branch. $ git remote add shondoit git://git.torproject.org/user/shondoit/torbrowser.git $ git fetch shondoit $ git checkout -t shondoit/personal-build # Start building... This will take a couple of hours. $ make -f build-scripts/windows.mk build-all-binaries bundle > P.S.

How to go from there, I'm not sure. It's best to start with a clean build first and verify that you can succesfuly build a normal TBB. Only then start with changing settings. If you have any questions about building or changing things you can join #tor-dev on irc.oftc.net and ask your question there. There are more people that can help you there, and I'll be on as well. Good luck, Regards, Shondoit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPpsNqAAoJEPkeD+x3AmlWvqQIAJvpzmHHStMCWGDwtdBVWfJ+ FGtKP0hfksy2CgVTsheLbk3wtsvHI4tC1o1jAsEIDtezC2xEnwVbWMNRgkeci+/P dGfZ4yUUj00NCpekNRK4+Qp1MAiDbzOGTbtSoeD9Ge9Q68x+INTGrJsNYNhEOPY8 /EUyvSqCVKtLUCVy1J7wIYXn1pWiu4l8XJSj3rFhTLL2YCbeI+zsu/RnvtiVbkWH I36EqucFmBtKUbc6IE9v0KSXYnMGkwjxoy1rM/wtb3D0fxpi0OY1V32eYgiom9E4 LZx9WXFT1fDYEGBB2QtEiNnJMBjJAje/tJe93uC8scZtmUydmZb/uyY3NJ+sD8k= =ubbk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
