    initial v1  
    1 I've been thinking...the best thing we could do here is to actually make a Portfile to build TenFourFox.
    2 
    3 I have a feeling it would not be trivial. The whole FireFox build system seems complicated enough, and this one needs some modifications it appears. But we have an older FireFox portfile (now retired) that we could use to get started, and then integrate the instructions from the wiki you mentioned above. The old FireFox port is discussed in detail here [ticket:42087].

    5 We will get stuck, for sure. But perhaps with the help from the experts on this list (and there are some serious experts here how know how to make things work), possibly with some help thrown in from Cameron, we could get something working.

    7 Once we have that, working on patches and specifics of the build would be much easier. I will open up a separate ticket for that.

    9 Regarding your gcc48 build failure, at this moment, I'm not 100% certain why you're failing to build it.

    111I have my default compiler set to clang-3.9, and I use that to build everything on MacPorts. It works spectacularly well for me, and I have not been inclined to change it for some time now. So, you could try that quite easily. Other compilers might well work, and we should figure out why the default build is not working for you. But if you're in a "get it done" mood, clang-3.9 definitely worked for me.
