<h1>
1. What is Electrical Fire ?</h1>
Electrical Fire is the code name for a multi-platform Just-In-Time Java
compiler (JIT).&nbsp; For more information, see the <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/ef/index.html">Electrical
Fire homepage </a>.
<h1>
2. How to build Electrical Fire on Windows</h1>

<h2>
2.1 Requirements</h2>

<blockquote>The canonical development environment for Windows platforms
is NT 4.0.&nbsp; (It's probable that Win95/98 work, but it has not been
tested.)&nbsp; The following tools need to be installed:
<ul>
<li>
MSVC 5.0.</li>

<li>
GNU Tools for Microsoft Windows, located:</li>

<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32">Cygnus</a></li>

<li>
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html">GNU home page</a></li>

<li>
<a href="ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu">MIT</a></li>

<br>&nbsp;</ul>
Specifically, you'll need:
<ul><tt>cp.exe</tt>
<br><tt>rm.exe</tt>
<br><tt>uname.exe</tt>
<br><tt>flex.exe</tt>
<br><tt>bison.exe</tt>
<br>&nbsp;</ul>

<li>
Netscape has internally modified version of gmake, shmsdos and win32gnu
that we use to get around some problems we were having keeping in sync
with the Unix version of gmake. This version of gmake can be found in the
Windows Build Tools package, which can be ftp'd from
<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/download-mozilla.html">the
Mozilla Download page</a>. The three files you will need are:</li>

<ul><tt>gmake.exe</tt>
<br><tt>shmsdos.exe</tt>
<br><tt>uname.exe</tt>
<br>&nbsp;</ul>

<li>
Download the BURG tool: <a href="ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/people/todd/burg.shar.Z">ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/people/todd/burg.shar.Z</a>
You'll need to download this file on a unix box, since this is distributed
as a shell archive.&nbsp; Put the resulting files in the mozilla/ef/tools/Burg
directory.&nbsp; (We can eliminate this download step if we can get permission
to redistribute BURG.)</li>

<li>
Obtain jvmdi.h:&nbsp; <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/">Download
JDK1.2</a> from Sun.&nbsp; After installing, copy the jvmdi.h file into
the mozilla/ef/Debugger directory.&nbsp; (We can eliminate this download
step if we can get Sun to give us permission to redistribute the file,
the way they've done for us with jni.h)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

<h2>
2.2 Get the code</h2>

<blockquote>Download the code using <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html">CVS</a>:</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<blockquote>cvs co mozilla/ef
<br>cvs co mozilla/nsprpub
<p>(Need to add a CVS module for EF)</blockquote>
</blockquote>

<h2>
2.3 Setup the Build Environment</h2>

<blockquote>
<li>
Set your <tt>MOZ_TOOLS</tt> environment variable to point to the parent
directory of the GNU tools 'bin' directory. The build looks for MOZ_TOOLS\bin\gmake.exe,
so make sure that the gmake.exe from the Windows Build Tools package resides
there, e.g.</li>

<ul><tt>set MOZ_TOOLS=C:\moztools</tt></ul>

<li>
Create a <tt>\tmp</tt> directory for temporary files in the root of the
drive which you are using to build, e.g. <tt>D:\tmp</tt>.&nbsp; (You must
do this even if you have <tt>TEMP</tt> or <tt>TMP</tt> environment variables
that point to another directory, as <tt>bison</tt> ignores these variables).</li>

<li>
Add the mozilla\dist\$(OBJDIR)\bin directory to your <tt>PATH</tt></li>
</blockquote>

<h2>
2.4 Build ElectricalFire</h2>

<ul>
<li>
Build the NSPR library:</li>

<ul><tt>cd mozilla\nsprpub<br>
gmake</tt></ul>

<li>
Start MSVC 5.0 and load the following workspace</li>

<ul>
<pre><tt>mozilla\ef\Driver\StandAloneJava\winbuild\ElectricalFire.dsw</tt></pre>
</ul>

<li>
Under MSVC's Build menu, select "Build electricalfire.exe"</li>
</ul>
