I previous compiled and ran a tarball version of firefox
This is what I did to compile firefox from scratch the
See:I opened the documentation
I Ran Terminal.app; now I gotta get the source
$ rm -rf moz_src $ mkdir moz_src $ cd moz_src $ mkdir learncompile $ cd learncompile/ $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk $ cd mozilla/ $ make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser checkout start: Mon Sep 17 17:34:54 EDT 2007 ... checkout finish: Mon Sep 17 17:40:07 EDT 2007
Ok the source is retreived; now I gotta run configure my compile options See:Configs
$ pwd /Users/coren/moz_src/learncompile/mozilla $ pico mozconfig-firefox
The following is what I put in the mozconfig-firefox file
mk_add_options MOZ_BUILD_PROJECTS=browser mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/Users/coren/moz_ff_trunk/ ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --enable-static
Save; Exit
$ export MOZCONFIG=~/moz_src/learncompile/mozilla/mozconfig-firefox $ make -f client.mk build
Now Mozilla compies; watch a bit of TV; oh sadness... a bug

ok I changed the mozconfig-firefox to this
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/Users/coren/moz_ff_trunk/ ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --disable-static --enable-shared
... and recompiled
