OK, I did some checking and it seems linking SM and TB with xulrunner is still not possible. I found a couple of mozilla bugs discussing it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585944 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598646 I did find an option in SM, --with-system-libxul, but it didn't seem to make any difference in build time. I also note Armin's post about https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306324. There has been a lot of traffic there -- Started in 2005 but several posts within the last month. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
