Andy, I think the instructions for FF were difficult to get right and that you did a great job. The problem is that some other packages need components from xulrunner that are not installed by FF. Specifically, iced-tea-web needs one of the mozilla-*.pc packages amd they specify xulrunner files. Building from xulrunner means that the user does not have the very long build from both xulrunner and iced tea. The only thing I want to do is put in some text that explains this. I haven't investigated yet, but I suspect that seamonkey and thunderbird would benefit from the same explanations. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
