Scripts to compile IceCat for macOS
Should work on macOS 10.11+ but only verified working on macOS 10.14.6
Using brew will allow you to recieve automatic updates, to do so insert the following in a terminal
brew cask install elsorino/elso/icecat
This will also add my cask repo to your tap, allowing you to update IceCat with brew cask upgrade
.dmg files are available under releases
Xcode & command line tools are required
brew install yasm mercurial gawk ccache python autoconf@2.13 rust nasm node
cargo install cbindgen
will install dependencies
Compiling firefox currently requires a macOS SDK below 14, it is recommended to get an SDK from https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs and moving it to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
NOTE: the build script assumes 10.11 SDK
After the dependencies are installed run cd build & ./icebuild to automatically compile IceCat
Essentially a combination of the scripts at https://notabug.org/h3nn3s/icecat-mac but with Fedora's more updated IceCat at https://gitlab.com/anto.trande/icecat though currently using source tarballs at https://sagitter.fedorapeople.org/icecat/
