## The LibreWolf build instructions
2022-02-03 04:17:35 -05:00
1. Clone the git repository via https:
```
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source.git
```
or Git:
```
git clone --recursive git@gitlab.com:librewolf-community/browser/source.git
```
cd into it, build the LibreWolf tarball, bootstrap the buld environment, and finally, perform the build:
```
cd source
make all
make bootstrap
make build
```

After that, you can either build a tarball from it, or run it:
```
make package
make run
```

#### How to make a patch
2022-02-03 04:26:16 -05:00
The easiest way to make patches is to go to the LibreWolf source folder:
```
cd librewolf-$(cat version)
git init
git add < path_to_file_you_changed >
git commit -am initial-commit
git diff > ../mypatch.patch
```
We have Gitter / Matrix rooms, and on the website we have links to the various issue trackers.

#### Building LibreWolf with a tarball instead of git:
2022-02-03 04:36:29 -05:00
First, let's ** [download the latest tarball ](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source/-/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/librewolf-__VERSION__-__RELEASE__.source.tar.gz?job=Build )**. This tarball is the latest produced by the [CI ](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/source/-/jobs ).
```
tar xf < tarball >
cd < folder >
2022-02-03 04:38:58 -05:00
make bootstrap build package run
2022-02-03 04:36:29 -05:00
