building Mozilla and Firefox

Complete · August 25th, 2005

My first post:

Has anyone tried building Mozilla or Firefox from their open source?

**Geffy** · August 25th, 2005

yep

cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
make install clean

done

That'd be on FreeBSD using the ports tree. Did it here as well, many times.

I attempted to once .. I can't remember now but I think I did finally get it.

I've also done it on OS X.

Oh and Mozilla not Firefox if that matters.
