Here are some pretty straight forward steps to quickly get a development environment based on the Eclipse IDE. The tools in this environment are
- Eclipse with the Eclipse-CDT platform
- Distcc – a distributed C/C++ compiler
- Mozilla Framework – the base framework used for Mozilla projects
Note: Mozilla has great documentation to help building any of their application. Please have a look there before posting any question. The #developers irc.mozilla.org channel is also a good start.
This tutorial assumes you’re using Ubuntu or a similar distro.
