Dependencies
Required
Extracting
First extract thunderbird-3.0.4-source.tar.bz2 and then enter the mozilla directory that it created. Then we need to extract the Enigmail tarball into mozilla/mailnews/extensions.
tar xf thunderbird-3.0.4-source.tar.bz2 && cd mozilla && tar xf ../enigmail-1.0.0.tar.gz -C mailnews/extensions
Creating a basic .mozconfig
Enigmail is different from the rest of the mozilla style builds as we need a very minimal mozconfig. We are just building the Enigmail XPI.
cat > .mozconfig << "EOF" . $topsrcdir/mail/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-enigmail ac_cv_visibility_pragma=no ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-crypto ac_add_options --enable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-static-mail EOF
