Experience building browsers

Have you ever tried compiling Firefox? When the original Mozilla source was released it took me two days to get it to compile, I had Chromium downloaded, compiled and debugging in less than an hour. Firefox is better now, but still not as good as Chromium. In my opinion this browser has the simplest build process imaginable. A lot of projects require lots of system specific configuration and very fussy work, this one needs a few dependencies and then you push F7 and get some coffee while it chugs away.
