Most likely you will need to get the build dependencies for Firefox which are listed at the bottom of this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites

Then you can probably clone the gnuzilla git repo and run the wrapper script with:

        bash makeicecat

I haven't actually tried this, but it looks like you could do it this way.

I think you need to run from inside objdir, specifying path to configure file that is available in the extracted source path. You may need to install a lot of things. May be if you will search out for how to build IceCat from source, you may get somewhat further. Even I am trying to do the same, but not able to understand where gnuzilla fits in all that.

Hi,

I down loaded Source Code >
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git/commit/?id=dfca19be2da9a7043894995d4dafaca201acd329

followed the README. (I am very new to all of this)

extraced files  tar -xzvf gnuzilla-dfca19be2da9a7043894995d4dafaca201acd329.tar.gz -C /src

yielded

/src/gnuzilla-dfca19be2da9a7043894995d4dafaca201acd329

From the README:

From the released IceCat source tarball, you can build it by running:

# replace objdir with whatever path you want
 mkdir objdir
 cd objdir

Not able to get this part to work:

# replace srcdir with the path where you unpacked the source tarball
 srcdir/configure --with-l10n-base=srcdir/l10n
 make
 
When trying to run configure terminal replies

configure: command not found

Tried variations but none worked.

Thanks for your help
Bill
