Compile Abrowser for Windows and OS X
How would I go about compiling Abrowser for Windows and OS X using only free software? Also, what is the license of the Abrowser logo? (A dark blue globe with a white cursor in the corner.)
I think it's still under the mozilla license.
The logo?
I am a member!
Hi ssdclickofdeath,
I was interested in this so that I could sync the tabs from the browsers. This stopped working for me some time ago.
I made a project at Gitorious, but I haven't added any code yet.

How would one compile Abrowser for Win32? Is the upstream source for Firefox for Windows different then the code for Firefox on GNU/Linux?

Abrowser patches the Ubuntu Firefox, which is not the upstream Firefox,
so porting to Windows might be more difficult.
You'd probably be better off compiling IceCat for Windows instead. I
recall someone wanting to do this months ago, but not sure if it ever
happened.

Does Mozilla have a tutorial on compiling Firefox for Windows?

I looked it up and found this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Compiling_Mozilla_With_Mingw
Unfortunately that page was last updated in Feb 2008, over five years
ago. According to this page Mozilla uses Microsoft Visual Studio for its
official builds:

The FAQ seems to acknowledge MinGW though:

So... MinGW is a free compiler for windows executables?

Yes, MinGW is free software. I believe it is based on an old version of
GCC adapted for Windows.
