yes - well; your suggestion includes using of debian package manager which i do not have and am not willing to install ( or any other package manager for that matter ). i do not install binary packages and thus have no need for software that makes it difficult to know what is happening in my machine.
i'll take a closer look on this if i just find the motivation ( i have working icecat 3.6.16 )... i just hoped someone would have cooked up patches in the usual and correct way ... /mc On Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:48:54 +0200 christophe.ja...@ouvaton.org wrote: > Hello Matti, > > The actual error that prevents the build to succeed is (grep 'error:' > build_err): > > ipc/chromium/src/build/build_config.h:64:2: error: #error Please > add support for your architecture in build/build_config.h > > Debian has succeeded at making IceWeasel 6.0.2 work on mipsel.
