Trying to compile firefox nightly

Question

I was hoping to do the equivalent of what heftig did for aurora and compile firefox nightly into its own package. First things first is getting the source code to succesfully compile at all before worrying about how its packaged. Here's my PKGBUILD:
# $Id$

Anyone any idea what's going wrong?

Answer 1

So I've deleted the obj* directory, and edited out the gkt3 and cairo lines in mozconfig and I get the exact same error. Here it is with the previous couple of lines included. Do you know whats wrong?
