That might be true, but in the case of run-mozilla.sh, MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is set at run independently of --default-mozilla-five-home= . It derives this value from the current directory. /usr/bin/firefox uses the location for run-mozilla.sh from $moz_libdir, and this is set at compile time independently of any FIVE_home variants. Keep in mind that --default-mozilla-five-home and the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME are different things. Some applications that depend on firefox will respect the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME. Passing --default-mozilla-five-home in base firefox only adds #define DEFAULT_MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME = ... to /usr/include/firefox-1.5/mozilla-config.h and /usr/bin/firefox-config which is like freetype-config I think. So, --default-mozilla-five-home appears to be a compile time parameter for _other_ applications. Doesn't seem to affect firefox at all. Whether the other applications use that #define, I have no clue. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
