Maybe if I could find a SVN BLFS version with that era Firefox, I'd get instructions for what I'm trying. But how hard can it be? <cough, cough> mozilla-31esr/xulrunner has NSPR/NSS.pc.in files. I think my first go will be to change the application to xulrunner and run configure only. That should, AIUI, prep them to .pc files with proper substitutions. Then I'll add those to my Firefox build scripts and binaries. [One reason for keeping this package manager is it has no concept of telling me, "You can't do that!" I can tell it a pretend story and it will believe me. ;-) ] Then I'll try to build IcedTea-Web from 7.6, as much as possible. (I think jre is one of those things to keep up to date as much as possible these days. It's an attractive target.) Should have time tonight. OK, so this won't quite be a "clean and simple" system. They never quite are, as much as I'd like. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
