gmake 3.79.1+ cvs 1.11+ autoconf 2.13+ gtk 2.10+ freetype 2.1.0+ pkg-config 0.9.0+ libIDL 0.6.3+ perl 5.6+ (Solaris 10 has 5.6) ksh/bash/zsh (Probably won't work with ksh88) latest Sun Studio 12 or Sun Studio 11 with patches gcc 3.4.1+/4.1.2+ probably libtool gm4 (Mozilla does not list the respective version) fontconfig (Mozilla does not list the respective version) dbus-1-glib-devel (Mozilla does not list the respective version) libXt-devel (Mozilla does not list the respective version) glib (Mozilla does not list the respective version) others listed on "Linux Build Prerequisites - MDC" * Some dependencies may not need to be upgraded http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Solaris_Build_Prerequisites http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Linux_Build_Prerequisites I suppose later on this week I could try to build the above and then Firefox 3, if time permits. If you want to try for yourself, try using the respective Blastwave versions for the above dependencies, using source builds when needed and tell me how it goes.
