WIN95.TXT: HOW TO COMPILE / LINK MOZILLA UNDER WIN 95

Instead of going around the world to get bits and pieces, this is a
shortcut and some working tips.

On http://www.mozilla.org some obsolete pages and older DejaNews
articles, referred to 'ns' as the next level directory: the current
source replaces 'ns' by 'mozilla'. 06/03/98 source included Win95.

1) mkdir E:\VN                      create a new subdir

2) gunzip mozilla-19980603_tar.gz   or Use WinZip or PKZip for Windows
                                    (PK260W32) extracting: mozilla.tar

3) untar mozilla.tar to extract all files:
   E:\VN\README\...
   E:\VN\MOZILLA\...

4) download and unzip shortc95.zip  from vn-mozilla File Archive
         E:\VN\BIN\*.exe            to extract special programs
         E:\VN\SETMOZ.bat           needed for Win95
         E:\VN\README95.txt         this file
cp.exe
gmake.exe
nsinstall.exe
rm.exe
shmsdos.exe
uname.exe

5) setmoz                           to set environment parameters
                                    if get error 'Out of environment':
   edit C:\autoexec.bat             and add the following line
   CALL SETMOZ                      REBOOT 

6) cd E:\VN\MOZILLA\CONFIG
   nmake /f MAKEFILE.WIN            to build some dependencies

7) cd E:\VN\MOZILLA
   nmake /f CLIENT.MAK              getting a lot of warnings but
                                    crunching. Will stop if errors.
                                    Don't worry about the error message:
                      "+++ make: cannot

8) E:\VN\X86DBG\MOZILLA.EXE         is the result with several *.dll
               \*.dll
               \netscape.cfg        automatically generated
-------------------------           end-of-processing
...
E:\VN\mozilla\cmd\winfe\mkfiles32>echo E:\VN\x86dbg\UNICVT32.DLL
        rebase.exe -b 60000000 -R . -G rebase.lst

REBASE: Total Size of mapping 0x00580000
REBASE: Range 0x60000000 -0x60580000
        del rebase.lst
        del rebase.yes
-------------------------
If the whole process took 2 hours, touching the Vietnamese stuff will
take 1 hour to recompile/link.

I have CVS 1.9 (from www.cyclic.com) but don't think it's needed for the
compile/link.
