Building FireFox on Mac OS X 10.6 SnowLeopard

On Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

The 10.5 .mozconfig works fine for Firefox 3.6 called Gecko 1.9.2. The problems start after putting the 10.6 sdk line into .mozconfig many many crashes.

my notes on building git on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Hello!

Looking at the Omni frameworks I realized I would need the git source control package.

Dan Benjamin's HiveLogic article on building git on Snow Leopard explains the steps in detail.
What I am going to talk about are the road bumps I ran into.

After getting the git source, download:
asciidoc
xmlto
getopt
packages.

Alright, time to turn to MacPorts 1.8.0 to resolve all these dependencies. Except xmlto (bug#) hung up the works in MacPorts. Thanks to lightning fast response from MacPorts I found I needed to upgrade libxml2 to 2.7.5 thus:

sudo port install libxml2

After that xmlto installs fine as does git. Hope that helps. Cheers.
