 |
|
Hi there,
I emerged the new Firefox 3 like this:
| Code: | www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0-r1 USE="dbus gnome ipv6 java mozdevelop startup-notification xulrunner -bindist -iceweasel -restrict-javascript" LINGUAS="de en es -af -ar -be -ca -cs -da -el -en_GB -en_US -es_AR -es_ES -eu -fi -fr -fy -fy_NL -ga -ga_IE -gu -gu_IN -he -hu -id -it -ja -ka -ko -ku -lt -mk -mn -nb -nb_NO -nl -nn -nn_NO -pa -pa_IN -pl -pt -pt_BR -pt_PT -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -sq -sr -sv -sv_SE -tr -uk -zh -zh_CN -zh_TW" 0 kB
|
With XUL-Runner:
| Code: | | net-libs/xulrunner-1.9-r2 USE="dbus gnome ipv6 java -startup-notification" |
Everything compiled fine, but when I start it, just nothing happens.
At first, I emerged Firefox without the startup-notification use-flag too, but there wasn't any difference.
Here's a short part of a huge strace output:
| Code: | ...

Does anyone have an idea, what could be the problem?
I'm here on a PPC (PowerPC, G4), if that is of interest.
Thanks in advance for any hints! |

| You could try moving you .firefox directory, and start firefox with a clean one. |

Thank you, but I already did that.
The files accessed in the strace output have been created during an attempt to start firefox just before. |

I experienced the same with an FF3 installation that was already running for a month now 
Debugging with gdb I found out that pango was the culprit - I still had x11-libs/pango-1.20.3 ... updating to x11-libs/pango-1.20.5 resolved the problem for me.

Concerning pango:
I already had version 1.20.5 installed.. I reemerged it and nothing changed.. revdep-rebuild doesn't complain either... |

Hmm, I just tried your suggestion, but that didn't do it..
Also I think, by moving away my ~/.mozilla directory, a new profile was created anyway.. wasn't it?
Thanks though.. |

| well, this won't solve your problem, but code is more optomized if you use -march=G3 (or whatever G it was) , or -march=native (gcc >=4.2 only) |

I just again can recommend you gdb ... | Code: | gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox
run |
and see where it bails out. Then you know at least where to start

Ah, ok.. gdb says:
| Code: | Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0da4b2bc in ?? () from /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/components/libdocshell.so
|
So, I'm going to do something to xulrunner, like reemerge it with different CFLAGS...
I'll tell you, what happens.. |

With the new information from gdb I also found this topic and this bug.
So, thank you all, I consider the issue as solved! |

Just so you know, -march is not a supported gcc option on powerpc, -mcpu=G4 is correct (and -mtune=G4 is not needed). |

Hi
I have/had the same problem with -O2.
Turned it to -O1
Then it works.
