<sigh> Good call. Maybe it would be good to have a page for building 3.12. <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.12/nss-3.12-release-notes.html#docs> says that the instructions for "Build Instructions for NSS 3.11.4 and above" is <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.11.4/nss-3.11.4-build.html>, so I kind of assumed that it reall meant "and above". I nuked mozilla/* and used the two cvs commands above. The make now ends with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnssutil3 gmake[3]: *** [FreeBSD7.0_DBG.OBJ/FreeBSD_SINGLE_SHLIB/libfreebl3.so.1.0] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/phoffman/NSS-312/mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl' gmake[2]: *** [libs] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/phoffman/NSS-312/mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl' gmake[1]: *** [libs] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/phoffman/NSS-312/mozilla/security/nss/lib' gmake: *** [libs] Error 2 >There are two possible explanations that occur to me. >1) your checked out source files/directories are missing the directory >in which libsoftokn3 is built.

OTOH, the man page for objformat in FreeBSD 6 says that is was deprecated long ago and will be removed in 7. >The intended code path for current versions of FreeBSD is line 71. But that test seems to fail and go to line 73. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
