Hey All, I was wondering if anyone could point me to the error of my ways. I'm trying to build firefox on a MAC (10.4) and I cannot successfully get it to build. Reading the build page http://www.mozilla.org/build/mac.html I have installed all the correct developer tools (I believe) such as the apple developer tools, Fink. I sourced the init.sh script in my login script, fetched and installed orbit, orbit-dev glib, zip, and unzip, installed the shared menus framework, installed pkg-config, installed quicktime 7 sdk. I noticed in a few other threads that mentioned the danger of using gcc 4, thus I'm using gcc 3 My first questions is whether or not I need to install any of the tools under the unix-builds link. I am familiar with doing unix builds, but I don't believe this is necessary, is it? I'm not clear on is where I can find instructions on how to configure the tarball for the mac. At the top of the page, it says that the instructions are for using autoconf tools. Does this mean that I can do a ./configure then a make? What about the .mozconfig file? do I need one of these? What should the settings be? My goal is to replicate a firefox build. Thanks, Matt
