[tbb-dev] [tor-packagers] torbrowser: problems with 9.0.1 source tarball

[Nicolas Vigier]

Hi!

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

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.

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.xz
https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/9.0.1/src-tor-launcher-0.2.20.2.tar.xz.asc

Or you can build without tor-launcher by adding "ac_add_options --disable-tor-launcher" 
to the .mozconfig.
