Official FossaMail build instructions?

[maxthest]

Hello developers and contributors of FossaMail. I am looking for official instructions on how to build FossaMail and it’s Lightning extension. The reason I ask is that I want to tailor my personal build of FossaMail for my system architecture (-march=native and such). I also use Arch Linux and I created a PKGBUILD script for it. I was able to compile my own FossaMail and Lightning using the PKGBUILD and runs without any hicks (currently using it as my email, calendar and feed client). I want to submit it to the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR) for convenience of other users however I was informed by a package maintainer that the FossaMail build set up is different from how Mozilla projects are built. I have been looking for official build instructions but the closest thing I have come to instructions is this page and the README.md on the FossaMail github project does not specify any build instructions. I would like to know the build setup that FossaMail uses so that I can set up the PKGBUILD similar to it.

You view my PKGBUILD here.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

It doesn't quite exist yet. It is similar to how Pale Moon is build though because it shares the Platform code. Cross reference the wiki page with what is in about:buildconfig for the generic release we make. (about:buildconfig can be access from Troubleshooting in FossaMail). Follow how we do it and test, test, test and you should be fine.

I did look at the about:buildconfig in the FossaMail pre-built binaries and set up my mozconfig around that, as well as numerous testing to get it to build and properly link. I also enforced SSE2 as FossaMail seems to require it. The only thing that bothers me is that --enable-jemalloc is set but when I check using ldd and namcap (an Arch Linux tool for checking packages) it does not report any linking to libjemalloc.so but I guess it can be safely ignored since FossaMail runs anyway. I am also not sure what FossaMail uses for audio support as it is not listed on the configure arguments

I looked at the build instructions for Pale Moon prior to writing the build script. I used make -f client.mk build and make package similar how the Wiki page describes and it seems to compile fine and the binaries seem to run properly. I tried using ./mozilla/mach build at the root source directory but it always fails after building. This is actually a known issue when building Thunderbird. I am not sure what FossaMail uses to build but so far the makefile does the job for me.
