Firefox-x11 --any chance?
Hi, Is there any chance at all to have Firefox running under MacPorts on Intel Macs? I have stumbled upon Bug #10251 <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10251> as (I guess) everybody else, and then I tried to build 2.0.0.2 with the same effect. I don't know what else to try, but I am willing to help if somebody gives me any clue on the matter. The absence of an X11 version of firefox is a big problem for me, since as an old-school Unix/Linux user I hate the Aqua UI and I hate even more the mixed X11/Aqua UI I am forced now to use. So any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
I am just right now working on the firefox-x11 port. It won't be fast, but I am working on getting it there. On 15 Mar 2007, at 21:15, Stefan Bruda wrote:

Thank you, it is really nice to hear about it. Let me know if you need (by chance) any help on the matter. Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
