What's Up

In short: Building NSPR for Symbian.

Complete one: Building NSPR with source from http://mozilla-symbian.googlecode.com for Symbian OS/S60 3rd Edition FP1 platform by using gnu-make/msys.

Prerequisites

• Windows XP or compatible
• S60 SDK 3rd Edition FP1
• Prerequisites for S60 SDK: Active Perl EXACTLY V5.6.1.638, no earlier no later and JRE v1.5 (JRE is not required)
• Open C Plugin for S60 SDK
• Mozilla-build v1.3
• MINGW latest
  • Make sure to select "g++" during the install process

Procedures

• Install all prerequisites, I recommend installing everything on Drive C, default path.
• Add paths to environment variable $PATH, some of them are added by tools installation:
  • c:\mingw\bin (MUST be the first, or at least earlier than any Symbian build tool chain related path)
  • c:\program files\csl arm toolchain\bin (this should be added by GCCE tools installation)
  • c:\symbian\9.2\s60_3rd_fp1\epoc32\tools (MUST place this earlier than "c:\program files\common\symbian\tools" which is added by SDK installation)
  • c:\mozilla-build\svn-win32-1.4.2\bin
  • c:\mozilla-build\moztools\bin
• Add environment variables:

 SYMBIAN_SDK_PATH = /c/symbian/9.2/S60_3rd_FP1/
 ACTIVE_PERL = /c/perl/bin/perl.exe
 CC_INSTALL_PATH = /c/program\ files/CSL\ ARM\ Toolchain/

• Fix a header file bug: in $EPOCROOT/Epoc32/include/e32def.h, change:

 static const char* const KSuppressPlatSecDiagnostic =
   KSuppressPlatSecDiagnosticMagicValue;

into

 #if defined(__cplusplus) 
 static const char* const KSuppressPlatSecDiagnostic =
   KSuppressPlatSecDiagnosticMagicValue; 
 #endif

• Deal with header files

c:
cd \symbian\9.2\s60_3rd_fp1\epoc32\include
move prtypes.h prtypes.h.orig
cd variant
copy Symbian_OS_v9.2.hrh Symbian_OS.hrh

• Checkout source from google code
  

 svn checkout http://mozilla-symbian.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ mozilla-symbian

• Start msys by invoking c:\mozilla-build\msys\msys.bat, assuming your source is checked out at c:\mozilla-symbian then:

For device(GCCE) build:

 cd /c/
 mkdir gobj
 cd gobj
 ../mozilla-symbian/nsprpub/configure --target=arm-none-symbianelf
 --enable-symbian-target=GCCE --disable-debug
 make
 cd pr/tests
 make

For emulator(WINSCW) build:

 cd /c/
 mkdir wobj
 cd wobj
 ../mozilla-symbian/nsprpub/configure --target=arm-none-symbianelf
 --enable-symbian-target=WINSCW
 make
 cd pr/tests
 make

The procedures above are also verified on S60 SDK 3rd Edition MR.
