I now remember why I was so pleased when Andy started updating firefox - the build is a heap of the proverbial. Now that I'm on to xulrunner, the book's instructions for 13.0.1 don't work for me in 14.0.1 *with the book's mozconfig* although I'm sure that I would be able to run it [ because I've already got the same versions of all the system libs installed ]. For some reason, the symlinks are being made to the -devel versions of the .so libs. It's so long since I've run xulrunner that I can't be certain, but I think I used to link to the "non-devel" versions. What's happening in 14.0.1 is that the fancy symlinks only get created for libmozalloc, libnspr4, libplc4, libplds4, libxpcom,libxul. They do NOT get created for libfreebl3, libmozsqlite3, libnss3, libnssckbi, libnssdbm3, libnssutil3, libsmime3, libsoftokn3, libssl3 because those are only present in the "non-devel" versions. Where they are in both, the non-devel versions are stripped, I assume that anyone sensible who builds xulrunner will use system versions of nspr, nss and sqlite but the current "Uncomment these if you have installed them" makes logical sense (what is in the book should build and run). So, have these nss libraries been removed from -devel in 14, or was this already broken ? I guess Andy isn't around at the moment. I'm going to sort out the commands (still using what is effectively a DESTDIR at the moment - fortunately) and install this, then I think I'll have to try the same thing for 13.0.1. I'm also getting unexpected times (only 14 SBU, although standalone firefox took 18 SBU). Oh well, at least I've learned something : my system nss and nspr aren't stripped : and they're massively bigger than even xulrunner's unstripped versions.
