Hi all,
I _think_ I've managed to build a 64-bit version of Tor Browser for Mac OS. Specifically, I built the entire bundle, but only TorBrowser was modified to be 64bit. The changes I made are here: https://github.com/tomrittervg/tor-browser/commit/79fbe1e3ffde1ac3577a9937aa... (ignore the last couple lines commenting out some options I had added, then removed).
The bundles are here: https://ritter.vg/misc/transient/2014-09-02-4.x-1-build1-tjr5/
It would be fantastic if anyone could test the bundles and/or the patch and determine if
a) you agree it's 64 bit b) it works c) anyone else can reproduce a 64 bit build (I'm not going for full reproducibility right now, just a successfull build that is 64 bit)
Does this enable full ASLR, along with any other OSX hardening options that you saw in Firefox that we were lacking, or do we still need the 10.7 SDK for those?
For what it is worth we need to switch to the 10.7 SDK for ESR 38 anyway. See: https://bugs.torproject.org/12761. Thus, we might want to start early (i.e. after ESR 31 based bundles got out) which would allow us to solve one blocker for the ESR 38 based release beforehand. Note, though, that switching to the 10.7 SDK is perfectly possible with supporting 10.6.
