I have comm-central checked out, and I successfully built it with ./mozilla/mach build
. Now I’m poking around the actual code trying to get a feel for what it’s like.
The closest answer I found to my question on the wiki or MDN was a link to this blog post from 2010. There’s some good advice in it, but it’s more about how to get really familar with the code. Not a simple introduction to how the project is structured. Google wasn’t much help either.
So, is there a document out there somewhere that describes what each of the subfolders in comm-central are for? Maybe something about how each subfolder is structured as well. A description of the build process would be helpful. Especially for people like me coming from a non-compiled coding background.
Thanks!
