Can't Build Mercury Browser

[iamevilmonarch]

I am building mercury v115.1.0 in void linux and by following the instructions in mercury docs I need to ask is what do you mean by firefox repo cause i have followed two methods trying to install mercury browser 

  1.  i placed my  own firefox repo from /usr/lib/firefox/ to ~/mozilla-unified
   2. i downloaded source code from firefox and placed in ~/mozilla-unified
   by trying both ways it is giving the following error

Script to Rebase/Sync Mozilla repo on Linux._

Rebasing/Syncing with mozilla-unified Mercurial repository... ./trunk.sh: line 40: hg: command not found

can you please look into this issue and guide me

okay after many trials and error i found a way to install mercury browser and what was needed.i was able to install mercury browser by going on mozilla firefox site and installing mercurial,I followed your doc and I successfully ran bootstrap.sh,trunk.sh,setup.sh but when i run build.sh i run into the following problems

_4:04.54 make[3]: [/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/config/recurse.mk:72: build/clang-plugin/host-objects] Error 2 4:04.60 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/instrumented' 4:04.61 make[2]: [/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 4:04.65 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/instrumented' 4:04.66 make[1]: [/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/config/rules.mk:361: default] Error 2 4:04.70 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/popeye/mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/instrumented' 4:04.72 make: [client.mk:60: build] Error 2 4:04.80 W 0 compiler warnings present._

I cannot seem to figure what is this Error 2 can you help me with this or can you point in some direction which i can follow

@iamevilmonarch You should use hg (mercurial) to clone the Firefox repository in $HOME, by following the steps in Mozilla's documentation.

Then, you should clone the Mercury repo also to $HOME, and run ./trunk.sh, then ./setup.sh therein.

Finally, you should copy the mozconfig that is relevant for the platform. Since you are on linux, you would just copy this > https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/blob/main/mozconfig into mozilla-unified (the root of the mozilla repo). Note that the file name has to be mozconfig, so if you wanted to build for windows, you would copy mozconfig-win and then rename it to just mozconfig.

Then, you can either run the ./build.sh script in mercury, or cd to the mozilla repo and run ./mach bootstrap and ./mach build. You can use ./mach build -v to show verbose stuff.

However, since Void is not a "supported" build host, and it seems you are getting clang plugin errors, you should try commenting out this line > https://github.com/Alex313031/Mercury/blob/main/mozconfig#L22
