Built GNOME libraries and desktop components with no problem.

So I'll go ahead to move NSPR and --with-system-nspr into optional.

Hi folks,

Now we have --with-system-nspr in mozjs configure command.  This
introduced a hard dependency to NSPR.  However, the upstream has
switched the default on GNU/Linux to --enable-posix-nspr-emulation long
long ago.

We can just remove --with-system-nspr and use the default.  This would
remove the dependency to NSPR.

I'll build GNOME and see if this change would break anything...

When we first added JS60, I followed the recommendations here. I'm on 
ftp-list and distro-list @ GNOME, so I got this one ahead of time before 
GJS needed it.


--with-system-nspr being gone looks good to me.

[blfs-dev] Proposal: remove --with-system-nspr from mozjs configuration

2019-05-31 Thread Xi Ruoyao via blfs-dev
Hi folks,

Now we have --with-system-nspr in mozjs configure command.  This
introduced a hard dependency to NSPR.  However, the upstream has
switched the default on GNU/Linux to --enable-posix-nspr-emulation long
long ago.

We can just remove --with-system-nspr and use the default.  This would
remove the dependency to NSPR.

I'll build GNOME and see if this change would break anything...
