-The process above needs to be repeated to install the GCC 4.0 compiler in a location that Gecko will understand without problems. By default, Gecko is looking in <code>/usr</code>.
+Similarly to building Gecko on Mac OS X 10.6, the following lines must be included in the <code>.mozconfig</code> file. Note that on Mac OS X 10.7 the explicit path to the compiler must be specified:
 <pre>$ cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -s /Xcode3/usr/bin/*4.0* .

 ==Preparing the build environment: installing Xcode 3 alongside Xcode 4==
-Xcode 4 (available for free through the Mac App Store) does not include the necessary tools for building Camino: the 10.4 sdk and the GCC 4.0 compiler. Those need to be fetched from Xcode 3. The necessary steps have originally been documented in this post on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5333490/how-can-we-restore-ppc-ppc64-as-well-as-full-10-4-10-5-sdk-support-to-xcode-4 Stack Overflow] and reposted on [http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110318050811544 MacOS X hints] (note that those steps were written before Lion and Xcode 4.2 had been released; Xcode 4.2.1 changed a few things). Below are updated instructions

 ===Installing Xcode 3===
 Xcode 3 can be downloaded for free from [https://developer.apple.com/ Apple Developer site] ([https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3__final/xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg direct download link]). But the installer does a version check and won't allow installation on Lion 10.7.2. The necessary Xcode Toolset component is disabled. If the COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL environment variable is set, the version check can be bypassed (source: [http://anatomicwax.tumblr.com/post/8064949186/installing-xcode-3-2-6-on-lion-redux anatomic wax]).
