Hello, I am trying to build mozilla-firefox 0.8-12 from testing. I'm following the directions at <http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-sourcepkgs>. On an unmodified source tree (fetched with "apt-get source mozilla-firefox"), the build fails with the following error:
gcc -o host_nsinstall.o -c -DXP_UNIX -pipe MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS = -I../dist/include -I../dist/include -I/usr/local/src/mozilla-firefox-0.8/dist/include/nspr -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/src/mozilla-firefox-0.8/dist/include/nspr nsinstall.c gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations make[2]: *** [host_nsinstall.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mozilla-firefox-0.8/config' make[1]: *** [default] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mozilla-firefox-0.8' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 After grepping around, I found the following lines in config/autoconf.mk, which looks to me to be a stray backslash: MOZ_OPTIMIZE_FLAGS = -pipe\ MOZ_OPTIMIZE_LDFLAGS = If I remove the backslash, then "make distclean" and try to rebuild, I get the same error, and the backslash has reappeared when I reopen the file. Furthermore, that file isn't present in the initial unpacking, so I suspect it is a symptom rather than the problem. config/autoconf.mk.in looks fine to me. Can anyone help me fix this? I'm a little baffled. Thanks, Reid -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
