Mozilla compiling problems

[qwkbrnfox]

Hi all,

Well, I've gone and botched my Mozilla. I wanted to upgrade, so I could try galeon-cvs, due to the forms crashes. I tried to emerge mozilla-1.1, no luck, died on compilation. Then *big mistake* I unmerged my existing mozilla, to try again. Same thing. So, reemerge mozilla 1.0.1. No compile. Uh oh. Go a little crazy. Now I have tried in various combinations:

emerge rsync
USE=-gtk2
no lesstif
openmotif unmerged
NO_MAIL=YES (just to see if that helped)
Cleaned out distfiles, and /usr/tmp/portage
Tried 1.0.1-r2 and 1.0.1-r3
Dropped optimizations to -mcpu=athlon-xp -O2

I'm at my wits end. This damn thing takes an hour and a half to compile to death. Here's the final error (in 1.0.1-r2 and -r3, it's different in 1.1):

.deps/pipetest.pp: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [pipetest.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.0.1-r3/work/mozilla/extensions/ipc/tests'

This happens while compiling pipetests.cpp.

I'm hoping and expecting that it's something profoundly stupid that I'm overlooking, but I can't see it for the life of me.

Thanks for _any_ help or ideas!

hmmm. my idea in such cases, when characters seem to dissapear, as in your case:

Thanks for the help m0p0rbe, but it looks like it actually needs the .pp file. However, after much swearing and cpu time, I (finally) noticed that in the ebuild it's trying to strip-flags, but I get a command not found during the ebuild!

I imagine that's important, but what could have happened to my strip-flags?

Thanks,

T
