Hi!
I think the best list to discuss Tor Browser build problems is the tbb-dev@lists.torproject.org list, so I'm anwsering there.

Hi!
I wanted to build firefox-tor-browser-68.2.0esr-9.0-1-build2 (torbrowser 9.0.1) on NetBSD from the source tarball, but I stumbled over a couple problems.
The first one, .mozconfig contains --disable-eme but configure doesn't like it:
mozbuild.configure.options.InvalidOptionError: --disable-eme is not available in this configuration
Is this a NetBSD-specific issue or more general?
In our linux, windows, macOS .mozconfigs we have the line:
ac_add_options --disable-eme
But I don't remember seeing this error, so it looks NetBSD-specific.
The second one:
--- begin --- The error occurred while processing the following file:
/scratch/security/tor-browser/work/firefox-tor-browser-68.2.0esr-9.0-1-build2/browser/extensions/moz.buildThe underlying problem is we referenced a path that does not exist. That path is:
/scratch/security/tor-browser/work/firefox-tor-browser-68.2.0esr-9.0-1-build2/browser/extensions/tor-launcher/moz.buildEither create the file if it needs to exist or do not reference it. --- end ---
The directory browser/extensions/tor-launcher does not exist in the tarball, which looks like a problem with the tarball to me.
This is a change from this ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28044
So you can either download tor-launcher, and extract it under browser/extensions, renaming the tor-launcher-$version directory to tor-launcher: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/9.0.1/src-tor-launcher-0.2.20.2.tar.x... https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/9.0.1/src-tor-launcher-0.2.20.2.tar.x...
Or you can build without tor-launcher by adding "ac_add_options --disable-tor-launcher" to the .mozconfig.
