Hi all, I think I have found an error in the instructions for Firefox 21.
I had realy big problems building Firefox against XULRunner. Make went well, but install failed because the directory firefox-build-dir did not exist. I was taking a close look at the suggested mozconfig file, and stumbled over the second line which enables XULRunner: ac_add_options --with-libxul-sdk=\$(pkg-config --variable=sdkdir libxul) This line obviously finds the path to XULRunners sdk dir - but what is the "\" doing ? I tried to remove the "\" so that the line now reads: ac_add_options --with-libxul-sdk=$(pkg-config --variable=sdkdir libxul) And then everything works just fine ! I have tried to put it back and compile again, and the firefox-build-dir was NOT created, and compilation took several hours - and could not be installed. When I removed it again, the directory was created as soon as make was started, the compilation took less than 5 minutes, and it works fine !
