Here is a quick list of what I build after Xorg to support firefox (ignoring fonts - DejaVu is probably sufficient for Paul) - items with square brackets are other toolkits or e.g. for TeX. rxvt-unicode (instead of xterm) fluxbox (I cannot get on with twm, this lets me use X) pm-utils xbindkeys (to map a key to pm-suspend) iso-codes dbus icon-naming-utils startup-notification glib2 cairo dbus-glib hicolor-icon-theme desktop-file-utils libgudev icu4c (if not already built - I now build it very early) [ libarchive [ cmake [ graphite2 [ harfbuzz [ freetype (reinstalled for harfbuzz) pango atk shared-mime-info gdk-pixbuf zip nspr nss lcms2 - you might not need this or the next two libusb colord [ libpaper usbutils - again, you might not need this libtasn1 - this and the next two are for cups nettle gnutls cups (I forget the reason for building it before gtk2, but it is something to do with being able to see the print queues) gtk2 [ at-spi2-core [ at-spi2-atk [ gtk3 icewm (my favourite wm) pnmixer (so I can change volumes without wasting a term) libglade (for xscreensaver) xscreensaver libogg libvorbis libevent (there is some doubt if firefox really uses this) libtheora flac (this was just a convenient place to build it) vorbis-tools libvpx gstreamer gst-plugins-base firefox There is a question if firefox actually needs gstreamer - it certainly _references_ ffmpeg, but when I was testing (ff 44.0 I think) on my then test machine I installed it onto all the systems - one of them was incomplete and did not have ffmpeg, but youtube still worked. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
