Subject: Re: tor web-browser doesn't work on musl

How could I build the Tor Browser Bundle from source?
I can't find any guide for it.
If someone has ever done this, could you share the binary that works on musl?
Could TBB be packaged to musl systems (void, alpine, etc) or is it
only available as a downloadable binary?
