Firefox Won't Compile

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-08 20:21:04

I'm trying to compile firefox. I did a srcpac -Sb mozilla-firefox, and the build fails. Also, any idea's why the icons are crappy? We have firebird icons and mozilla icons... Why not new ones?

Please post if it's compiled fine, or if it's not. I want to know if it's just me or not.-

I downloaded the binary version of firefox from mozilla.org, and it loads faster then the arch package, and the icons are correct...

Yeah to tell ya the truth I have never gottin firefox off the repos to work very well at all. I tried doing srcpac -Sb mozilla-firefox and it also errors out on me.

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-08 21:06:48

Hmm... I hope I don't have to wait until 0.9...

Error messages are a good start to post, I have had no problems compiling firefox.

ok. a little more informative. i have a few questions now:

1. are you using default makepkg settings or are you using "march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe"? if the later have you tried using the default makepkg settings or at least trying -O2 instead of -O3?

2. arer you using x.org or xfree86? if the former then i would be bold as to say it could be issues with x.org that is causing the problem as the error seems to be generated with respect to X libs (i think).

regardles if you want i can see what happens when i try and build this package with generic settings and xfree86.

sarah31 · 2004-06-10 03:52:13

hello ... got the same error and unfortunately not knowing c++ i am not to sure how to address the error. perhaps someone else can?

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-10 11:06:59

I'm using -march=pentium4 -O3, and x.org. Since I can't get it to compile, I'm just using the binary version of firefox .9rc. It's nice.

The error complains that a function is private so I moved it to the public section with this patch:

It compiles and is syntactically correct. It may change behaviour (but I doubt it) and may not be what the developers intended. Probably a gcc3.4 breakage and hopefully resolved in the next release.

Good luck!

i suggest submitting your patch to the maintainer of firefox since all existing builds should theoretically work.

kpiche · 2004-06-10 17:22:41

Good idea. Are you suggesting a direct email or bug report?

sarah31 · 2004-06-10 18:00:23

probably a direct email would be best that way it saves listing the bug then the mailer sending the bug notification to the maintainer and the maitainers responding. since you have a patch it is a few simple tweaks and then a new package could be up by the end of the day.

btw thank you for taking the time to patch this. i know the maintainer will appreciate it.
