Sorted, after some amount of pain. Two things are related to the fix : first, I was using --disable-gnome-vfs with 3.6 : for 4.0 the swith changed to --disable-gnomevfs (sounds like change for the sake of it, to cause annoyance). But, even after I fixed that, LIBXUL was still being defined. Looks as if any one of gnomevfs, gnomeui, libnotify, and gconf enable the GNOME part of the build (to paraphrase the configure script), and seem to do this. Perhaps 3.6 is similar, but I suspect this has changed. I used to use --disable-jsd without any problems. Test compiling xulrunner (or part of it - tried it as a user and filled up /home !) showed that xulrunner did indeed create that header, although how it does it is opaque to me. Anyway, it's in a directory under jsd/ so I tried dropping --disable-jsd and I've now got a working 4.0. I *think* it's using my system libvpx (html5 certainly works at youtube, and presumably in the video linked from the welcome screen), but it doesn't show up in 'ldd'. I can certainly see that -lvpx was used during the build, so I guess it loads it dynamically. Full list of changed switches: disable-gnome-vfs -> disable-gnomevfs add --with-system-libvpx (it still tests for yasm, I'd added that before I realised I could tell it to use my own copy, but I suspect it will still fail to configure if yasm is not present - must be an old verion of libvpx that mozilla are using. added --disable-javaxpcom : probably redundant (I don't have java), I was struggling to find any options affecting xpcomm. remove --disable-jsd add --enable-system-pixman ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
