Since I saw what SVG was and how cool the technology was I've decided to compile Mozilla + svg on my mac os X setup. notes found here says You need X11, I already had that installed. Fink is needed too, you need fink in order to install the gtk+ packages that is needed by Mozilla+SVG.
Once gtk+ is installed you need to edit your .mozconfig (see build instructions on mozilla's web site, on what gets in .mozconfig) in order to add specifc optyions to build with svg. Those options are :
ac_add_options --enable-svg
ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-libart
ac_add_options MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1
Next you need to set the environement variable MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL to 1. Once done you can build like any other mozilla, with a make -f client.mk.
