I spent some time doing this today, and I can't get it to build.

I downloaded the tycho branch, exported the MOZCONFIG environment variable, and set the correct location for the 10.7 SDK in mozconfig.tycho. That allowed the build to limp along until it died on a test routine. So in the configure file, I edited out the edit for test for -enable-application directory, and instead forced browser option starting at line 11046. The build limped along further, until it died at dom/media/mediasource/TrackBuffersManager.cpp:1677:22.

Code: Select all

nsTArray<TrackBuffersManager::TrackData*>
TrackBuffersManager::GetTracksList()
{
  MOZ_ASSERT(OnTaskQueue());
  nsTArray<TrackData*> tracks;
  if (HasVideo()) {
    tracks.AppendElement(&mVideoTracks);
  }
  if (HasAudio()) {
    tracks.AppendElement(&mAudioTracks);
  }
  return tracks;
}

I finally figured out what is happening here -- the function of class TrackBuffersManager is GetTracksList and it is returning an array of tracks of type NsTArray. However as written, this initialization doesn't jive with anything defined for nsTArray in nsTArray.h as far as I could tell. That header file exceeds my C++ decoding ability by miles.

Anyhow, I'd like to be another maintainer, but I'm stuck.

OS 10.9 -- fully updated macports (except autoconf which is at 2.13) -- XCode command-line tools installed.

SeaMonkey having been installed as the default brower may have cause the problem of "not responding" as well as the overheating. Now that it's no longer the default, and has Javascript turned off, both problems disappear. I just downloaded New Moon 27.9.3 and am using it to write this reply after booting the image on a Slow Leopard ramdisk. Using Gecko compatibility mode, it displays the Paypal test page for PCI DSS http://sandbox.paypal.com/
(but so does 27.3.0).
