''':''' Hardware and Software Requirements
:'''Hardware'''
::I didn’t care much about the hardware requirements listed on the Build Documentation page because I knew that my laptop was a fairly recent model [2 years old] and that the only reason why they usually require high system requirements is mostly to decrease the time that it takes to compile code.
 
::'''My hardware configuration'''
|}
:'''Software'''
::'''Xcode''': I already had Xcode installed since I had used it before in my BTP course. Xcode provided me with the SDKs that were required for building Firefox as well as the build tools like the gcc 3.3 compiler.[[http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ Get Xcode]] ::'''DarwinPorts''': The Mozilla prerequisites page for building Firefox on OS X recommends the installation of DarwinPorts, a package management system, in order to install libIDL, Glib and autoconf. I also had DarwinPorts installed on my computer. ::[[http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/docs/ Installation Document]] [[http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/getdp/ Get DarwinPorts]]
