1Relation between nss, moz, moz_prebuilt 2--------------------------------------- 3nss containes the security libraries which are also part of moz. However nss is 4meant to be more current, that is it to be updated more often. This should be 5easier than doing this with moz. 6 7If nss is build depends on an environment variable (ENABLE_NSS_MODULE=YES) which 8is per default set to YES. In this case nss is build before moz. The nss 9libraries/lib files/headers built in moz are then not delivered. Otherwise they 10would overwrite those from nss. That is, the nss libraries build in moz are 11removed from mozruntime.zip (build in moz/solver/bin), they are removed from the 12lib directory (for example moz/unxlngi6.pro/lib), and the nss and nspr headers 13are also removed (inc/nss and inc/nspr). The nss libraries from the nss module 14are then added to mozruntime.zip. 15 16This also applies for moz_prebuilt. Therefore moz and moz_prebuilt must be build 17again after changes have been made to the libraries in the nss module. 18 19Also when moz was updated to use a newer version of mozilla, then one must make 20sure that new files which also belong to nss are not delivered and are removed 21from mozruntime.zip. 22 23Fips 140 and signed libraries 24------------------------------- 25Fips 140 mode is not supported. That is, the *.chk files containing the 26checksums for the cryptographic module are not delivered into solver and will 27not be part of the OOo installation sets. 28 29Signing has been turned off because 30- we change the rpath (install names) after signing which breaks the signatures 31(Mac) 32- sqlite conflicts with the system sqlite when signing which breaks the build 33 34 35libfreebl3 36---------- 37Porting to other platforms may require to deliver other variants of 38libfreebl*. The library name varies according to the platform. Changes need to 39be made to 40ooo/moz/extractfiles.mk 41ooo/moz/zipped/makefile.mk 42sun/moz_prebuilt/zipped/makefile.mk 43 44See also 45http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tech-notes/tn6.html 46 47 48Windows builds of nss 49--------------------- 50To build mozilla on windows you'll need the mozilla build tools 51 52Build requirements containing the link to the build tools: 53https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Windows_Build_Prerequisites#ss2.2 54 55The direct link: 56 57http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-1.3.exe 58 59libsqlite3 60---------- 61The problem described here was found on Mac with OS 10.6 62NSS cannot use the system sqlite on Mac because the base line is still MacOS 6310.4. That system sqlite is incompatible with the softokn3 in nss which requires 64a later version of sqlite. 65When we used a more current Mac SDK then we could set 66NSS_USE_SYSTEM_SQLITE=1 67to build using the system sqlite. 68 69We cannot deliver sqlite in the lib directory of the solver. This directory is 70used by tools of the build environment. Using the sqlite from NSS breaks the 71tools if they use system libraries which are linked with the system 72sqlite. Therefore we deliver it into lib/sqlite on unix systems. 73 74See also issue 75http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=106132 76
