The story so far - I'm on ppc64 (multilib), trying to get a working 32-bit firefox for the realplayer plugin. I've had 1.5 built for a few weeks, but when I try to run it, it just sits on its hands for a few seconds and then returns a status of 1. Meanwhile, I've managed to build a usable epiphany using libgtkembedmoz and libxpcom from firefox (I had to use a separate nss to get it to build), so I'm guessing it's some oddity that stops firefox running.
At Jim's suggestion, I've been trying firefox-2.0 today - it builds (with the included nss/nspr) but gives the same result. I've also upgraded gdb to 6.5 from 6.4, which was a big help and at least gave me a bt. I can now see that it returns 1 from XRE_main which is in toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp. A quick look suggests I'll need to rebuild it with DEBUG somehow defined - what is the 'correct' way to define DEBUG - can I just pass it to make ? Does anybody have any useful pointers or HOWTOs for debugging this pile of^H^H^H^H^H^H^H truly wonderful package ?
