Hello,
OK, I have been having all kinds of problems getting Thunderbird to
compile on my pure 64 build of CLFS running on AMD64. Right now I am
getting a lot of errors during the final ld of .so libs. The message
typically looks like this:
/usr/bin/ld: nsCOMPtr.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against
`nsGetServiceByContractIDWithError::operator()(nsID const&, void**)
const' can not be used when making a shared object;
I am not a programmer so I don't know exactly what the loader is trying
to do here but this same type of thing is in many of the so builds. I
did a google on this error and the only thing I found was a post to
netbsd complaining about this error during his building of Firefox. Well
I built Firefox on this same system and it is running fine. I got none
of these errors. There HAS to be some sort of difference between the
configuration of Firefox and what I'm using for Thunderbird, I just
can't find it. So to all you programmers out there, here's a challenge.
What is the loader trying to do and what kind of enable or disable would
I want to use to turn that functionality on or off or maybe do it a
different way so the loader won't barf? In case you want to look at the
code it's thunderbird-1.5.0.4

You said that you got Firefox to build. Did you have to add the
ac_cv_visibility_pragma=no line to the .mozconfig? I haven't tried
1.5.0.4 so I don't know if that has been fixed. If you didn't add that
line for Thunderbird, you should try it. With Thunderbird 1.5.0.2, that
is the only change I had to make to install on my x86_64 system. It
fixed and error that looked like that (relocation R_X86_64_PC32). I
don't remember if the error was at that same exact spot or not. Hope
this helps.
