187. Thunderbird 13.0 from source on debian wheezy

First look here for dependencies:
http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/thunderbird-1201-on-debian.html

In terms of building it's almost exactly the same as for the 12-series: the only difference is that you have to build outside the source tree.

cd ~/tmp
rm comm-release -rf
wget ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/13.0/source/thunderbird-13.0.source.tar.bz2
tar xvf thunderbird-13.0.source.tar.bz2
mkdir thunderbird13
cd thunderbird13
../comm-release/./configure --disable-necko-wifi

The next step takes a while (30-60 minutes)
make 

sudo make install

Done.

Errors
No rule to make target ../../../xpcom/idl-parser/xpidllex.py
Solution:
Build outside the source tree as shown above.
