Compiling Phoenix from source

Ok....I might sound like a rambling idiot since I don't know much about CVS, but a comment was made above that Mozilla has a nonstandard way of doing the tree. I do not currently pull my phoenix with the same cvs commands that I have seen in the ebuild. Again, my lack of knowledge in CVS....

This is what I do to pull down phoenix:

%export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
% cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org)
CVS password: anonymous
%cvs -z3 update mozilla

You can also mash enter instead of typing anonymous. Also, the first time you pull down the source, you have to do:

cvs co mozilla

only after you've pulled it once will the 'cvs -z3 update mozilla' work. But at least it doesn't take AS long as doing a full checkout. I'm not terribly sure if this is of any help.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is this "epatch" command that's suddenly appeared in the ebuilds?

hmmmm....just realized something...there has been a lot of talk about the cvs building of phoenix in this thread.....there is another thread dedicated to phoenix-cvs. Understandably, I posted my above comment because it was relevant to the previous discussed cvs topic, but the CVS thread is THE place for information on phoenix-cvs. I apologize for continuing the off-topic posts.

Hi guys.

In relation to bug #11905:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11905

Please do not install it in /usr/share, as this is not correct
according to FHS. Rather install it into /usr/lib/phoenix-cvs/.

As to using relative and not absolute symlinks ... the latter
is a security risc (err, ok so I cant remember why either

).

Hey nempo, how about this?

I created a new ebuild and posted it in my first post, so anyone would like to compile phoenix from mozilla nightly source can fetch it there. please add any modifications or suggestion starting this post and no more new ebuild please

change to the new ebuild is removal of built-in xft since xft2 is no longer masked.

::Happy new year, and new forum look looks kewl.

If you aren't compiling from release source (the milestones: 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) then this would be the wrong thread... The Compiling Phoenix from CVS thread already has an "official" ebuild that does the above quite well. Commenting out the one cvs line in the official CVS ebuild will yield a nightly source e-build (without CVS updates).

If anyone wants up to the minute Phoenix I would check out the Compiling from CVS source thread.

I've finally gotten my PC hooked back up and on a non-noisy dial-up connection (not optimal, but better) and I plan on working with nempo to update the official CVS ebuild soon to be a little more clean and use the new plugin locations. However, nothing in the actual building or compiling is really going to change. It's been the same for a while (good thing IMHO).

There is no way u can compile phoenix modules just by using mozilla source. This is because phoenix's components ARE NOT included in mozilla source, and the only way to get it is by cvs, (see NOTE on my first post). commenting out CVS line from any ebuild either from this thread or phoenix-cvs thread will course error on building.

Hmmm, rereading part of the Phoenix website would seem to point toward this. My apologies.

If this is the case, isn't the "Compiling Phoenix from source" thread redundant? (as it really isn't possible without "Compiling Phoenix from CVS")

*dazed*

The topic of this thread was not suppose to be Compiling Phoenix from release source, It was changed by mod from Compile your own phoenix web browser. btw i just took the "release" off from the topic

That still makes it a dupe of the Compiling from CVS thread though, right?

i get this error

checking for libIDL-config... no
checking for libIDL - version >= 0.6.3... no
*** The libIDL-config script installed by libIDL could not be found
*** If libIDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the LIBIDL_CONFIG environment variable to the

checking for orbit-config... no
configure: error: libIDL not found.
libIDL 0.6.3 or higher is required.

i emerged and unmerged both libIDL's in the portage, and neither work, the i did this
export LIBIDL_CONFIG="/usr/bin/libIDL-config-2" and that didnt work either, what could be wrong?
