Just ==On the PC==[http://crashopensource.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/catching-up-with-firefox-3/ See my blog for complete run through] ==On the MacBook (Intel) 2007==Too simple to even discuss here - the MDC docs are clear enough that you don't need more from me. The only issue that came up was, using Fink on Leopard requires that you build it yourself at the momment. Fink's homepage has a good doc on how to do this and I didn't have any trouble installing it. However, the MDC build docs say that once fink is installed you call <code> sudo apt-get install orbit orbit-dev and glib </code> - I could not get the packages that way even though apt-get was installed and working and I was able to jump list the packages infink. In the end I called <code>sudo fink install orbit orbit-dev glib</code> and that worked just fine, all systems go to do mozilla building on the new toy. ==On the Mac (last year)==Okay, so I'm on a Power PC Mac G5 Dual 2 GHz running OS X 10.4.7 (I tried can't update to build firefox10.4.8 because it messes up the networked printer).
This cleared everything Hours go by before I get the message: "make[4]: `tools/test-harness/Makefile' is up, and then I was able to begin downloading the source codedate."
This is amazing PC Build documentation:

I'd like to learn more about graphic design to complement my interest in web development and design. Outside of the Seneca @ York universe I am teaching computer essentials to folks who are deaf-blind through the [http://chkc.org Canadian Helen Keller Center]. Interesting fact: you can be 'deaf-blind' without being completely deaf or completely blind. I am enjoying this experience and I hope to continue during the school year.

Following the instructions on [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Build_Prerequisites Mac OS X Build Prerequisites] was tremendously useful.

I set up a .mozconfig file based on the [http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/config/mozconfig default] and this is what it ended up being (includes the use of objdir based on [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Configuring_Build_Options#Using_a_.mozconfig_Configuration_File this page]:<pre> 1 # This file specifies the build flags for Firefox.

This is the moment I know you've been waiting for. With baited breath, I go into obj-powerpc-apple-darwin8.70/dist/Minefield.app, when I am told upon double clicking that I must close the 15 Firefox tabs before I can open it.
