I have attempted to build blue griffon following the instructions:

Build BlueGriffon
Make sure to install the mozilla build environment for your
platform: windows, Mac OS X, linux. You will also need to install
subversion. BlueGriffon is based on mozilla-central.
create a new directory for BlueGriffon's and XULrunner's sources
get mozilla-central from Mozilla through Mercurial
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central mozilla-2.0
get BlueGriffon's tree through subversion:
cd mozilla-2.0
svn checkout
http://sources.disruptive-innovations.com/bluegriffon/trunk bluegriffon
get BlueGriffon locales through subversion:
cd bluegriffon
svn checkout
http://sources.disruptive-innovations.com/bluegriffon-l10n/trunk locales
tweak variable _AVAILABLE_LOCALES in file
bluegriffon/langpacks/Makefile.in according to your wishes ; en-US is
always built, this is for the extra locales
use the right revision of Gecko and apply the patch to the trunk
cd mozilla-2.0
hg update -r `cat bluegriffon/config/mozilla_central_revision.txt`
patch -p 1 < bluegriffon/config/content.patch
create a .mozconfig file. I am using myself the following settings
for my daily work on OS X (Mountain Lion):
CC=/opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.1/bin/clang
CXX=/opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.1/bin/clang++

bluegriffon.exe is in $MOZ_OBJDIR/dist/bin on windows/linux and
BlueGriffon.app is in $MOZ_OBJDIR/dist on Mac (launch with open

End instructions. I modifed the above in what seems to be the correct
fashion for SL6x, loaded mercurial from an SL6x repository, etc., and
have the following failure:
/oldhome1/ykarant/bluegriffon-build/mozilla-2.0/client.mk:278: *** Could
not find autoconf 2.13. Stop.
Note that autoconf from the SL6x repository is loaded. Suggestions?
