The first thing is that the build bailed out on me because I didn't have gstreamer installed. That's not listed in any of the dependencies.
I just wanted to get a working Thunderbird so that I wouldn't have to keep rebooting to get to my e-mail. I have it, but I want it built with all the system dependencies and right now it's not. My troubles with NSS are documented in another thread. But I'm going to build it again, which leads to my next observation. In preparing for Firefox, the book, BLFS SVN, gives the procedure for linking it agains XULrunner. (And I hope this isn't a mis-print, but that the build time for Firefox drops from 55 to .3 SBU's. Fantastic.). The page for Thunderbird says nothing about XULrunner. I'm just making the assumption, and I would like someone to verify it, that since Thunderbird also employs the gekko-engine it will also link against XULrunner. Is this correct? I want to minimize the number of 50+ SBU builds. :-) Thanks, Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
