Hello,
I would like to compile firefox using gcc instead of the buggy
Sun Studio. Unfortunately, it seems that the building tools
are wrongly assuming that one should use Sun Studio to compile
things. Has anyone success in building firefox with gcc?
Ginn Chen from Oracle, post contributed TB/FF Builds to Mozilla
'contrib' dirs after releases and I think he now moved to GCC, to for
newer Mozilla releases, because of some C++ problems.
It is said he has patches he can share , that I don't know if they are
included in Hipster. You can ask him.
I would also like to be able to build Mozilla products and how to cook
them.
There is also an SeaMonkey application suite build, that I got from

(http://www.ulx.cc/assets/build/seamonkey-2.23.en-US.solaris2.11-i386.tar.bz2)
but I didn't get source yet. I think they could be here:
https://github.com/IRIXUser
https://github.com/IRIXUser/mozilla-gate
With one bug: https://github.com/IRIXUser/mozilla-gate/issues/1
He also worked on re-enabling lx (Linux) brand for zones, he used to
run skype on.
