So I wanted to try out firefox 4. I unmasked it but compiling xulrunner-2.0 fails with following error (highlighted).

This seems to be ppc related because googling the matter just gives me one thread in another ppc related forum for mint linux here
http://mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=227&start=30
There is also a potential solution given in said thread and that is to add
| Code: | | ac_add_options --disable-ipc |
to mozconfig.
How do I do that with ebuilds? I have to admit that I don't know how to write patches and only a slight idea how to add those to ebuilds (or overlays). Maybe there is another way to add that option?

How about:
| Code: | | # USE="-ipc" emerge -av firefox |

Nooooooooo way. I've looked over the USE-flags and didn't see it before. Okay I am ashamed now. Thank you!
Update
Just as much as I did overlook it before, it was actually already very deactivated. So the useflag is not causing the error. And therefore I have no idea where that comes from. Anyone got any tips?

In that case, you'll need to post the actual error (higher up from what you posted)

This *is* the actual error. There is no trace of one before that. I even included the last successful line.
However I included "--disable-ipc" in the ebuild, digested it and now it seems to compile fine. Could it be that the useflag -ipc does something else than add "--disable-ipc" to the configuration? Where are they configured?
I realise that there had to be actual errors but I didn't find them in the building log.
Following my link to the only other appearance of that error (the mint forum) you'll see that the users snippet is more helpful:

The ipc useflag is deactivated by default but to make xulrunner-2.0 and firefox-4.0-r2 compile on ppc you have to add "--disable-ipc" manually to each configuration. I don't know what the ipc useflag is doing. But obviously not this.
I guess the best way to do this would be to create an overlay, copy the respective ebuilds into the respective folders, change them accordingly and do the things I have done to them. But I am dumb and lazy and changed them directly. Boo me.
So here is what I've done exactly. I've opened the xulrunner ebuild
| Code: | | # nano /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-2.0.ebuild |
And looked for
| Code: |
####################################
#
# mozconfig, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS setup
#
####################################
|
And below the other flags
| Code: |
mozconfig_annotate '' --with-default-mozilla-five-home="${MOZLIBDIR}"
mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-extensions="${MEXTENSIONS}"
mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-mailnews
mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-canvas
mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-safe-browsing
|
you just add
| Code: |
mozconfig_annotate '' --disable-ipc
|
Then you save,quit and need to make a new manifest for the ebuild.
| Code: | | # ebuild /usr/portage/net-libs/xulrunner/xulrunner-2.0.ebuild digest |
Now xulrunner should compile just fine but you need to apply the same changes to the firefox-4 ebuild (/usr/portage/www-client/firefox/firefox-4.0-r2.ebuild) or it won't compile.
I realise this is dirty. Again you propably should take the time to create an overlay for this. It's way less messy. Works for me though.
