Hi all, Unfortunately, Thunderbird devs are in no hurry to see that the comm-central repo and the mozilla-central repo become consolidated. Specifically, T-Bird still does not build using the libxul gecko engine. In fact, you must build T-Bird using --enable-static or it will not install.
Strangely enough; however, my first build of T-Bird actually looked as though it was using shared libs. Worse, it picked up the symlinks from the Xulrunner package (libxpcom.so, libxul.so, and libmozjs.so) in /usr/lib and used those libraries in the build. I started investigating when ldd of thunderbird-bin revealed libxul.so linked into the build. That struck me as odd, because T-Bird doesn't build a libxul. I'm doing another build right now with the Xulrunner symlinks removed, so there is no way T-Bird can pick up those libraries. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.25] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 14:53:00 up 12 days, 17:50, 1 user, load average: 0.28, 0.32, 0.25 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
