Fourth Seventh semester BSD student. Currently on a steep learning curve. I am a returning student and thus, hadn't been in school for 11 yearsbefore doing this program. Prior to this I have worked many jobs including (but not limited to) 7-11 clerk, Subway sandwich artist, nanny, cook, brunch chef, LCBO temp, delivering NOW Magazine, and many other odd jobs.
Even though my name is Lukas, I am in fact <em>female</em>. It is important that I tell you that because otherwise you might not know and so now you do - let's move on.
I'm most interested in web development, film/video - making, editing, videoblogging. I also knit...to give my eyes a break from computer screens. I'd like to learn more about graphic design to complement my interest in web development and design.
Outside of the Seneca @ York universeI 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. Inside the S@Y universe I am trying to get the most out of this unique program, I run which includes taking advantage of Seneca's partnership with my dog [http://mozilla.com Mozilla] and am training for any other courses that offer a triathlongood deal of "real world" experience=Current Project(s)=* [[Mozilla Source and Symbol Server]] - Project Leader* [[CSS guide]] - porting to MDC CSS Reference

===The solution On the MacBook (2Intel) =2007== To be continuedToo 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 list the packages in fink. 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 can't update to 10.4.8 because it messes up the networked printer).
Following the instructions on [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Build_Prerequisites Mac OS X Build Prerequisites] was tremendously useful. Xcode installers were already on the system and downloading [http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/ DarwinPorts] was a speedy.
===libIDL and GLib===
Once [http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/ DarwinPorts] was installed, I installed libIDL and GLib:
<pre>
$ sudo port install libidl
</pre>
===autoconf===
Following that I installed autoconf:
<pre>
$ sudo port install autoconf213
</pre>
===Gcc===
I also changed my compiler:
<pre>
$ sudo gcc_select 3.3
</pre>
===.mozconfig===
At this point, I tried to check out the source code, but I hadn't followed the directions closely enough, and didn't have a .mozconfig file set up and so I went back to the drawing board.
8 mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-@CONFIG_GUESS@
</pre>
===Checkout===
Finally, I was able to check out the source code (once I remembered to be in the mozilla directory) using make:
<pre>
$ make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
</pre>
===Build===
More time passes...then it's time to [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_and_Install build]:
<pre>
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.

And also to [[User:auenf2|auenf2]] on irc://irc.mozilla.org/#firefox for figuring out that it was the line endings preventing me from a seamless build. Mac Build Documentation:*[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_and_Install Build and Install]*[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Build_Prerequisites Mac OS X Build Prerequisites]*[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Configuring_Build_Options#Using_a_.mozconfig_Configuration_File Configuring Build Options]*[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_Source_Code_%28CVS%29 Source Code]*[http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/config/mozconfig Default .mozconfig settings]
