How do I build Mozilla Mach-O?

[dricci]

Just wondering if somebody could post some clear, easy to follow instructions on how to build the latest Mach-O Mozilla.

I'm not a programmer but I do have some compiling experience and I have the latest developer tools.

If somebody could post a quick how to, well, it'd be great!

Thanks!

You need about 300 megs or so of free disk space on an HFS+ volume.

Mike Pinkerton's instructions here: http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/Mach.html
are what I've been using for months now, and they work great.

Worth pointing out is that you should always check the state of the tinderbox (i.e. the test-build system that continuously builds the current source at mozilla.org) -- http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey-Ports/
It'll keep you from wasting time pulling broken source at times when the tree is taking hits from heavy checkins and regressions. Wait until the tree is green before starting a pull/build.

Tthere's one other thing you'll need that marmoset forgot:

Lots of patience!

Mozilla will take a loooooog time to build. I always start my builds just before I go to bed for the night.
