Hi guys, Here comes the first version of Firefox 3.0 build for Solaris 10 x86: http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/firefox-3.0-en-US-solaris-10-i386-pkg.bz2, with *DTrace* enabled.
The file contains the following packages besides Firefox 3.0: glib 2.14.4 atk 1.20.0 cairo 1.4.12 pango 1.18.3 gtk 2.12.3 dbus 1.1.20 dbus-glib 0.74 The list above should be the minimal set of libraries that Firefox 3.0 depends on. After tweaking with the corresponding JDS specs from the GNOME 2.20 branch and CBE, they were built on "Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_u5wos_10 X86" successfully with SunStudio 12 and CBE 1.6. To follow the contributed Firefox package convention, all the packages will be installed to /opt/sfw directory. If you're interested, please download it to a local place, bunzip and pkgadd it. Run "/opt/sfw/bin/firefox" should be fine(or add /opt/sfw/bin to your PATH). No extra LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is needed. It works on my "Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_u5wos_10 X86" box here. And I'd recommend to upgrade to a newer Solaris 10 update version. It might not work with some old ones. Most of the features(http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/06/12/655/) should be available. Also tried several extensions and flash plugin, no problem shows up for me until now. Well, I can't promise it's a stable enough build. So you might want to create a new profile to try it: /opt/sfw/bin/firefox --no-remote -P Any problem, please just raise it up. Cheers, -Alfred
