David,

Thank you, I have created the ticket as #26920. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26920#ticket.  Having downloaded the git project, it seems that this work cannot be performed on a Mac, since it doesn't run 'runc'.  Is that right?

Ben,

I am currently trying to create a virtual machine using Ubuntu 16.04 for development.  Unless I am mistaken, this work cannot be done on a Mac.  Please do the same, so that we can put this thing to bed.

The Tor Browser developers may have more specific requests, but I can
suggest some steps to get started.

Open a ticket at https://trac.torproject.org/ for discussion and to
track progress.
        Type: project
        Component: Applications/Tor Browser
        Keywords: marionette
The old ticket for FTE is a good reference: https://bugs.torproject.org/10362

And then it would help if you port your build process to the Tor Browser
build system. General information:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/Hacking
First, just build
        git clone https://git.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git
        cd tor-browser-build
        git checkout tbb-8.0a9-build3
        make testbuild # or, e.g., testbuild-linux-x86_64
Then you'll have to add a new project (consisting of a "build" and
"config" file) for Marionette and each of its dependencies. You can copy
from existing projects as templates. Here is the meek project, for
example:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git/tree/projects/meek
You'll also need to add bridge lines to:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-build.git/tree/projects/tor-browser/Bundle-Data/PTConfigs/bridge_prefs.js
To build just one project, not an entire release, do e.g.:
        rbm/rbm build gmp --target testbuild --target torbrowser-linux-x86_64
        rbm/rbm build marionette --target testbuild --target torbrowser-linux-x86_64
