I'm fairly sure that it used to be quicker (although the figures for 13.0.1 in the book suggest it is quicker to do two builds for that version). I've got a local copy of the book from about a year ago with 3.6.13 - at that time it was slightly quicker to only build the browser. My memory says that building standalone firefox used to be easier than building twice, but so much has changed since xulrunner first appeared. Whatever, barring accidents I should have 14.0.1 in the book in a few days. If it's more than 4 weeks when you get there, 15.0 will probably be out. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
