I am using the instructions in the blfs-7.6
stable book to build firefox. When I issue
the instruction:
make -f client.mk
I get the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------

I also tried using the instruction:
SHELL=/bin/sh make -f client.mk
which got me further, but I still ended up with the
following error:

--------------------------------------------------
Do I need to use the SHELL=/bin/sh form of the
command, and do I also need to install gstreamer?
I don't recall seeing gstreamer in the list of
dependencies. Or do I need to disable gstreamer?
Or is there something else I need to do?
