Just built FireSheep for Fedora 15 using:

https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep.git

using commit c3f26dd8d1efb788cde0af8b8e6242e290b21160

Instead of:

git submodule update --init

I had to do:

git submodule init
git submodule sync
git submodule update

Before running make, I updated xpi/install.rdf to allow for Firefox 8.

Thanks µacuyiko, this was very useful. I compiled for Fedora 14 x86_64 and it works like a charm.

I just wanted to add that I had to use an additional trick (I was getting the "ReferenceError: Cc is not defined" error) before the ./autogen bit thou:

"So, the quick fix is changing a little thing in backend/src/linux_platfrom.cpp: line 48, "throw ex;" in something less harmful as "return string("ERROR");"."

I found that at:
https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep/issues#issue/8

After that I used your guide and, like I said before, it now works like a charm on Fedora 14. I just had to the xulrunner directory to "/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.2".

PS: The deps for F14 are called a little diffrent (libtool autoconf libpcap-devel boost-devel boost-mpich2-devel boost-openmpi-devel hal-devel xulrunner-devel hal-libs).

Thanks man!!

@Gianni

sudo apt-get install libxul-dev

should take care of that.

I see. I take it you had to (re)install libpcap?

I mentioned mon0 in the last part ("Go to Tools → Add-ons, and open the Firesheep Preferences under the Extensions view. Another window opens. Set the Capture Interface to mon0."). :)

Blogger also ate some of my line breaks in the code (again), fixed.

Thanks for the tutorial. I ran into one problem that you didn't cover; on my machine I was getting a "ReferenceError: cc is not defined".
I got around the problem with the help of https://github.com/codebutler/firesheep/issues#issue/8/comment/556044
and when starting Firesheep I had to select mon0.
