Shoot, I wish I'd have seen this earlier. Following from recent discussions on BLFS-Dev, it is probably better not to use a stand alone NSS, and rather use the one included with your system XUL-Runner (or full Firefox build if you did not do a system XUL), since XUL will also have to rebuilt if NSS is updated due to a security vulnerability (static linking that is not very easily changed in NSS's arcane build system). NSPR standalone is fine. With an installed XULrunner, the additional Firefox build and install took a ridiculously small amount of time, IIRC, just over a minute on my slow hardware. Others will use XUL (but they'll probably use FF the same). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
