For the rest of my PGO project I'll be focusing on adding PGO to Thunderbird. So my first task is to build Thunderbird. Since I'll be building and testing a lot I have scripts to automate this task for me. I just tweaked my scripts to now build for Thunderbird.
Bash Script Problems
I don't know why but when I tried to create a bash script from scratch it would behave as if it executed, as in no bash could find command error, but nothing would happen. I could get any output. So I copied an existing working script and modified it. Works for me.
Next Steps
Now that I can build Thunderbird I am going to try and replicate the Mozilla tinderbox setup for Thunderbird on my home machine so I can duplicate the performance testing environment. Once I have a baseline of how Thunderbird performs on my machine I can then start enabling PGO and see what kind of performance boost I get.
After that I would have lots of opportunities for other Seneca students to contribute by compiling and running the tests on their machines to see if they are also seeing a performance gain.
So now to get to it.....
