There isn't really any magic to it. Mozilla documents the build instructions upstream: - https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.html Also, take a look at Debian's build script for Firefox: - https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla-team/firefox/-/blob/release/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads Or the one from openSUSE: - https://build.opensuse.org/projects/mozilla:Factory/packages/MozillaFirefox/files/MozillaFirefox.spec?expand=1 Adrian -- .''`.

And the error is identical: > no size function for object at 0x19bf80 (widetag 0x33) Right -- I think the error occurs when sbcl tries to load cl-ironclad, and cl-postmodern depends on cl-ironclad, so it's essentialy the same error.

Shall we give them a chance to investigate? I didn't. Many thanks for doing so -- I'm happy to wait. -- Sean Whitton

Build instructions for Firefox can be found on the Firefox homepage: - https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.html I can't really give you a course on how to use build environments though, so you'd have to give it a try yourself and use some Google-fu or the help of the mailing list when you get stuck. > I realize I could sort it out, but doing these kinds of things always takes > a lot of time to get organized, so if anyone cares to share the step-by-step > process, it would be great. Not really. It's always a matter of installing the build dependencies and looking up the upstream documentation or Debian's build scripts for the package in question on how it's done. Adrian -- .''`.
