When firefox started to require the use of mach to build it, the help it provided when failing to use the old comands said to run 'mach build', so I've been using that. This week, when looking at thunderbird in AUR I noticed that now uses './mach configure' followed by './mach build'.
The configure stage just runs as far as checking dependencies and reticulating splines (whatever that means - it always sounds impressive but probably isn't). To me, this seems somewhat analagous to using configure and make followed by make install instead of configure and make install. So, after testing with the current 78.7.0 firefox candidate I'm minded to introduce this with firefox-78.7.0 next week. ĸen -- The right of the people to keep and arm Bears, shall not be infringed. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
