Andy, you've always offered valuable insight and wisdom in the past. However, just sitting back and listening to the conversation on this one, I've determined that during this thread you really have offered nothing of value, and only whined and complained about how the BLFS editors (in their best effort, mind you) have assembled the Moz, Firefox, T-Bird instructions. If you really wanted to help out, instead of complaining why not invest that energy into sending in a patch that provides a description of all the configure (.moz, whatever) switches used? It really isn't that difficult to find out the info. Google for 10 seconds or so, and you'll discover pages at the Moz site that cover every possible switch that can be used. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Configuring_Build_Options http://webtools.mozilla.org/build/config.cgi Sheesh. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 02:58:00 up 72 days, 12:22, 3 users, load average: 0.50, 0.33, 0.21 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
