firefox-1.0.4

the portfile can be found here: ATTACHED

Description: Firefox empowers you to browse faster, more safely and more efficiently than with any other browser. Join more than 44 million others and make the switch today. Firefox imports your Favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose.

This Portfile has been greatly influenced by Sven Moritz Hallberg, who submitted a Portfile for a GTK2 build of firefox; I stole the very elegant way of creating the .mozconfig, and patched it to enable building in a separate objdir.

Homepage: ​http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Comments: Warning: this port depends on a framework called SharedMenusCocoa. The corresponding Portfile is attached in Bug 3879.

For future references, two attempts at making a Firefox Portfile are Bug 2522 and Bug 2968 (both GTK2 builds, no native). I will probably further update this Portfile to incorporate the GTK2 build as a variant. As I'm not using it, it might take a moment. -- Pierre Queinnec

build log

Thanks for the log. There's quite a lot of problems actually with firefox/thunderbird (same for Bug 4083) building on 10.4.2, the one we're seeing here is really just the first in a row. These problems range from simple header conflicts to Makefiles hardcoding the location of the 'sdp' command, and so on. I could probably include a patch and force the use of gcc-3.3, but that would be an extremely temporary fix (well at least I hope so ;) The other main problem is that I simply do not have access to any OSX 10.4 atm or in a nearly future (I'm still using 10.3). So I bet we're better off either using a nightly build (but that doesn't seem to comply with DP's policy), or waiting for 1.0.7 to include the fixes (they seem to have already committed such patches in their CVS). I'll be sure to adapt the Portfile as soon as 1.0.7 comes out. Same for Thunderbird.

If you still need a Firefox port for Aqua use, I would base it off the firefox-x11 port.
