 Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2005 6:18 pm Post subject: DEPRECATED mozilla-firefox-1.5rc ebuilds here, |
 |
|
This is the follow up to the firefox-1.5 rc1 forums thread found here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-397924-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html
and is now deprecated
Thanks to Zyne and bbe for giving us the opportunity to host the ebuilds
This forum is deprecated as firefox and thunderbird 1.5 are now in portage thanks everybody to help to get the beasts in
Discussions and (hopefully) help is found here
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-403846.html
For those who used the mozilla-firefox-9999.ebuild to pull the 1.5 sources directly from CVS: I updated also this ebuild to match the correct versioning of firefox, please use the file also contained in the mozilla-firefox-rc1-1.5.tar.gz file. This is the first version using the mozconfig-cvs.eclass contained also in the ebuild tarball.
Updates for mozilla-firefox-cvs-9999.ebuild and mozilla-thunderbird will follow......

I made a few minor changes to the previous ebuild in the other topic, using a nicer icon and naming it correctly as mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc2 (adding -r11 to prevent confusion). You can download it from http://dev.d10e.net/files/var/mozilla-firefox.tbz2 - have fun!

Nice one, but bad timing. I emerged thunderbird-1.5-rc1 using your ebuilds this morning

| Thanks for the ebuilds. Just needed to change "mozconfig2" to "mozconfig-2" to correctly reflect the current eclass name. |

In that case you use the official portage eclass, while I have used the eclass in my overlay from the previous (beta and rc1) ebuilds provided in the other topic here in Unsupported Software.

OK, the official mozconfig-2.eclass wasn't working. I grabbed the mozconfig2.eclass you referred to and I'm giving it a go now. That's what happens when you jump into the middle of something.  |

Please do not use my eclass anymore, as it will bring only chaos here 
So I would like to support the move wuno has made to the official eclass (which in fact is not that different) and moreover he has asked me, if he should do it.
There are the following strong arguments against my eclass:
1. it will not be supported by the official portage
2. most of it is now in the official eclass
3. it is better to concentrate on one source of possible bugs and not on two, in this way we could iron them out
The small differences between the two are:
1. the official class will not use the system cairo and will compile own version
2. the finegrained control of mozpango is not there, pango is turned on by default
I'll test this soon but it should be ok to use the moznoxft and truetype flags - as they should do nothing, xft should be selected by default, truetype is deprecated as it is only recommended for gtk1.

Well, I've not been able to get this to run, for some reason. Basically, it builds fine, and when I run it, firefox-bin just takes up 99.9~% CPU, and simply hangs. Killing it removes the process, but it still won't run. Running an strace, I found this (last few lines):
| Code: | rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x80775a8, [], 0}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
waitpid(-1, |
where it promptly hangs
Pertinent info:
| Code: | emerge -pv mozilla-firefox

I can't seem to figure out what the deal is. I'll try knocking off -fomit-frame-pointers, and removing -O1, but... we'll see. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Fixed... Seems that it wasn't appreciating either -fomit-frame-pointers or -01. I don't feel like rebuilding it to see what the problem is, though.
EDIT2, SOLVED: Right, it build fine with "-march=pentium4 -O2" so I figure my problem was with -fomit-fram-pointers.

I have just added 1.5rc2 to the tree for firefox and tb-1.5 rc1 is in tree I did use your patches. I wish I could support the cvs ebuild of firefox but that would involve me making a snapshot which I do not have time for. If anyone is interested in helping to bring 1.5 rc2 firefox and or 1.5rc1 thunderbird feel free to post and I will see how much I can incorportate into the tree. Mozconfig-2 will be modified here in near future to remove freetype2 support as it requires you to enable moznoxft and truetype to use at present with thunderbird. Feel free as I said to lay any suggestions and/or questions here or via email. anarchy@gentoo.org
Thanks for what you all have contributed to the users during my absence with bring 1.5 ebuilds to the tree it was much appreciated and I will be taking active bugs reports via bugzilla in the next release so everyone is clear on where that stands. |

I'm having issues trying to emerge mozilla-firefox-1.5rc2-r1 from portage. It doesn't see the ebuild on the system and if I do emerge =www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc2-r1 then I get
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc2-r1" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5_rc2-r1 (masked by: -* keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
Is this hardmasked because I don't see it in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask and I've got an entry for it in package.unmask.

I was able to get it to merge by putting the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords:
=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5* -* |

I have built it every time with -march=pentium4 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers -pipe" and did not see any problems. However, when I started to change to gcc-4 I thought it would be a good idea to build with -O1 instead of -O2. Interestingly this caused problems with many packages (including Firefox-1.0.x) whereas using "-O2" did not. |

Maybe you want to have a look at the diff printed in the topmost posting. This diff was actually made against your current rc2-r1 ebuild. As you can see not much differences. It uses now also your mozconfig-2.eclass. Gergan revised and approved it. One interesting point for you could be the pkgconfig files. We defined at the start of our ebuild the variable "MY_PV". The value of it, 1.5, is used later on in the ebuild by sed to change the mozilla-path statements(probably sth. like /usr/lib/firefox-1.5) to those used by gentoo in the pkgconfig files. So I would assume that at least some entries in the firefox-*.pc or firefox-config files might not be set correctly by your ebuild, but thats only a guess and you can easily check on your system. If they are ok, we could remove that variable from our ebuild.
Another point was that you now do not use any longer the mozilla-1.7.10-nsplugins-v2.patch. Can we omit it?
What about the rpath.patch? I used it since the first version of Gergan's ebuild and had no problems so far. Are there any objections, why it shouldn't be used?
The only other differences are then that we build "ssl and ldap", which may not be neccesarily required.
Regarding the new thunderbird ebuild only one difference to ours, you export MOZ_THUNDERBIRD, since mozilla-1.8 branching this should be MOZ_CO_PROJECT=mail from http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/client.mk : | Code: | 465 ifdef MOZ_THUNDERBIRD
466 $(warning MOZ_THUNDERBIRD is obsolete.)
467 MOZ_MODULE_LIST += $(MODULES_mail)
468 # $(error MOZ_THUNDERBIRD is obsolete, use MOZ_CO_PROJECT=mail and --enable-application=mail)
469 endif |

we do not use the rpath or nsplugins patch anymore as they are handled by sed. ssl is not needed everything can still link against firefox such as mplayerplug-in granit it will not until gecko-1.8 engine is supported by there upstream devs. Thanks for pointing out the MOZ_CO_PROJECT I will make the change here in a min to the ebuild. The sed statements I use in the build are to keep consistency in portage all pkg-config files are fine I will double check them at the same time tho. |

First thanks for the fast reaction and I think, we all are glad to help, when and if we can.
Second I have some questions:
Are there any problems with the mozilla-1.7.10-nsplugins-v2.patch and the mozilla-rpath-1.patch, as they are not applied, but the sed expressions are there, this is probably because the patches were applied automagically in the earlier ebuilds.
Is there any problems adding the building/installing of the nss/nspr libraries, to allow building the other applications against firefox (aka the ssl-flag) in the official builds. Or probably it would be better to have corrected system nss/nspr-libraries (installing pkg-config files and so on) and building ff/tb --with-system-nss/nspr. In such way the portage could get rid of the unneeded firefox/mozilla-flags in some packages.

Well I think I have answered first part already  if not let me know and I will rephrase it. As far as building the nss/nspr parts of firefox is a mute point at this point, We (mozilla herd) have voted against it in favor of using the nss/nspr packages. I am gonna be doing some testing here in near future with building firefox and thunderbird against nss/nspr packages instead of those shipped with the mozilla products. The mozilla flag will go away soon unless the mozilla foundation is decided to continue the development of mozilla, last I heard it was planned to drop support of it and concentrate on firefox/thunderbird. |

well I've tested it now and it does not work, the problem is that in the earlier builds, we have
| Code: | src_unpack() {
unpack firefox-${PV}-source.tar.bz2 mozilla-${PVER}.tar.bz2
cd ${S} || die "cd failed"
if use mozsvg; then
cd ${S}/other-licenses
unpack moz_libart_lgpl-${SVGVER}.tar.bz2
fi
cd ${S}
####################################
#
# patch collection
#
####################################
# Need pango-1.10.0 stable
rm -f ${WORKDIR}/patch/03[67]*
epatch ${WORKDIR}/patch |
which applies the patches, which are in the azarah's tarball and here we do not have the patches applied, I've let it go through configure process and stopped it and grepped, there is no change in the sources:)
As to mozilla, it seems that it will be stopped, although there are some developers, who are willing to continue it, but no one knows.

I decided to test out the portage ebuild, so I emerge -C mozilla-firefox and recompiled the portage build, but now I can't compile epiphany again.
| Code: | checking for /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/include/chrome/nsIChromeRegistrySea.h... no
checking for mozilla security compoment... no
checking for toolkit's nsITypeAheadFind... no

Seems that it don't find the nss-headers, either they are not installed (do you have /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/include/nss/ ?) or an issue with the firefox-nss.pc firefox-nspr.pc files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig... no better idea at the moment.

I believe (although I'm not sure at all) you just have to make some changes to your make.conf, so that it includes the language you want...
Maybe this page will help you a bit more though: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#variables
oh, and I'm also subscribing to the thread of course |

There is no easy way to get this the "gentoo way", because localizations are not part of the official source tarball. For only a short time I did it downloading the localizations and putting them into a cvs-ebuild. However than it built only in German, no switch back to en_US. And to be honest, there is nothing that would be compiled, the translation files are as they are and are only pulled in (*.dtd, *.jar, *.js and so on). As of my experience, if you want to have localization, you are really better off with the *.xpi files, they contain more or less the same and you can if you need switch back to en_US. Here's a link where you can have a look, how the files look like
