WWDC 2006
I got back from WWDC 2006 on Saturday afternoon, I've been too busy to write anything about it until now.
Hilights:
- Got a preview build of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
- Firefox 1.5.0.6 and Camino 1.0.2 run just fine on said copy of 10.5, with no modifications.
- Went to some good sessions on debugging and performance tuning.
- Had dinner with Banjo Goodge, Old Man Spitzer, Stuart, Brain, and Pink.
- Met some awesome people from Apple, all good dancers (at least after a couple beers).
- Listened to crazy taxi driver talk offensive smack about inner city youth for an entire 15 minute taxi ride.
- Apple released my dream machine, the quad Xeon Mac Pro.
- Went to a party at Adobe, talked about Flash issues with Flash engineers for a while. Much easier to hash plugin issues out in person than via email.
Not Hilights
- BT played at the Apple campus for the annual Thursday night WWDC party. I didn't go because nobody told me he was going to be there and I didn't feel like driving all the way to Apple at night for catered food. Damnit.

Do you have or can you point me to a step by step guide to compile Firefox on a MAC Book Pro based retrieving the source code. This would be super useful and I would sing your praises on the internet :-)
The Firefox developer guide just does explain "How to do it".

Peter, the mozilla site has some info on that one: http://www.mozilla.org/developer/
Basically, you need the Apple dev tools (XCode, which also installs gcc) installed and some dependencies (I think some glib and idl), which I do with Darwinports (sudo port install $BLA).
Then you need to edit a .mozconfig file in the source directory (of your downloaded FF source) and follow the build instructions on the mozilla page (one command for building, another one to build the .dmg distribution file).
My .mozconfig looks like this:
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/ff-build
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -mcpu=G4"
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-prebinding
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared
ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
Good luck!

I feel like a complete blank, but I don't care. Pfft. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.
