Great news! I was putting off switching from Mozilla to Firebird until this release was made... can't wait to try it out!
I read Firebird will become the "mozilla browser".... since mozilla has become quite... bloated is not the word i'm looking for.... slow i guess...

if u want to try it now u can modify phoenix-bin adding/changing these lines at the beginning: | Code: |
MY_PN="MozillaFirebird"
PV="0.6"
S=${WORKDIR}/${MY_PN}
DESCRIPTION="The Phoenix Web Browser"
SRC_URI="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases/${PV}/${MY_PN}-${PV}-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz" |
u'll get some error messages, but u will find firebird in /opt/MozillaFirebird
enjoy

I downloaded phoenix from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases/0.6/MozillaFirebird-0.6-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz, but when I try to run it, i get:
| Quote: | | ./MozillaFirebird-bin: relocation error: ./MozillaFirebird-bin: undefined symbol: __vt_14nsXPIDLCString |
I did not install it using an ebuild, i just extracted it in my homedir... Does it try to use libraries from my previous Phoenix installation? I already did 'unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME'. |

use | Code: | | ./run-mozilla.sh ./MozillaFirebird-bin |
Alternatively, change mozilla-bin to MozillaFirebird-bin in the run-mozilla.sh script. New skin looks very nice (been a while I haven't used mozilla based browser) however default fonts are ugly as sin. [/code] |

What about truetype-fonts (if you've enabled it) on your machines with 0.6?
They look ugly, but from the firebird-build 2003-05-12 they were okay. What changed? Excuse my english, please. |

How did your build go I'm wondering?

| Darke: I don't know how to enable system wide fonts for firebird but they don't show on the firebird options->fonts without any tinkering. |

I wasted 3 hours of processor time on that tarball and all I got was plain old Mozilla 1.4... why didn't they link Freetype in the binary?

firebird only has binary package?
If I wanna build it from src, the only way I can do is emerge phoenix-cvs?
Is there any way I can emerge firebird 0.6 with source files? |

tactless - yeah i just got the same thing. left firebird-0.6-source to compile while i went out, and it's just moz 1.4b (i'm on ppc - no binaries for me...) there must be some setting somewhere to tell it to compile firebird rather than moz...
Actually, I wonder if I can fake out the phoenix-cvs build with this source package....
(edit) OK, here it is, straight from the phoenix-cvs ebuild...
export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
export MOZ_CALENDAR=0
export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1
and just for good measure:
emake MOZ_PHOENIX=1

I downloaded the firebird source and used the all the phoenix-cvs configure lines from the ebuild and it built successfully to /usr/local/lib/mozilla-1.4b/MozillaFirebird. ./run-mozilla ./MozillaFirebird makes it run correctly.
Someone more knowledgable could probably hack the phoenix-cvs ebuild pretty quickly to accomodate firebird. |
