Idle Hacking

I found out a couple of things about building firefox 1.0.x on tiger today as I attempt once again at porting Simohealth to the mac. The first thing I did was run:

sudo gcc_select 3.3

then I created my .mozconfig

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig


ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-optimize

ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
ac_add_options --without-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --without-system-png
ac_add_options --without-system-mng
ac_add_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk


Notice I already had MacOSX10.3.9 sdk installed from building xulrunner.

I downloaded the firefox-1.0.6-source.tar.bz2 tar ball.

extracted the tar ball.

cd mozilla/
make -f client.mk build

I started getting errors:

I worked past that error manually only to hit another error:

Seeing this error I decided I still did not having something setup quiet right... So, I signed onto irc and started to explain the build problems... I was very lucky to ge t the help of mento... He kindly directed me to Bug 292530 with Patch 185940

Next he let me know I would need to use autoconf 2.13 not autoconf 2.54

I used apt-get to replace 2.54 with 2.13 and from the advice of some fink devs from freenode.

Next per mento's advice I ran:
make -f client.mk distclean && autoconf && make -f client.mk build

Now I have a working Mac OSX Firefox 1.0.x debug build to start working with to begin working with to port simo.
