Hi,

I just downloaded the firefox source from Mozilla.org.  I then downloaded the
port from FreeBSD.org.  When I run make from within the firefox directory, I
get the following error:

"Makefile", line 102: Could not find
/usr/home/jmcnew/firefox/../mozilla/Makefile.common
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

I looked in the mozilla directory, and there really isn't a Makefile.common
file in there.  How can I get this to build?

Other useful info...
uname -a yields the following:

FreeBSD zaphod.beeblebrox.com 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3
09:36:13 UTC 2005     root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

firefox Makefile info:
-rw-r--r--  1 jmcnew  jmcnew  3268 Dec 15 09:11 Makefile

both the firefox and mozilla directories are at the same level in my home
directory.

thanks,
John
