Has anyone successfully ported MOZILLA with GTK-DirectFB as backend ???..... I am trying to do it but my compilation is failing after around 60% . It is giving a lot of problems which i would like to share.
Firstly I would like to tell about my system : 1. TI Davinci (arm926ejs + DM6446) ----- target 2. i386 ----- host 3. armv5t ----- toolchain 4. Montavista Linux-2.6.10 ------ OS I have successfully ported GTK and DirectFB and i am able to run the applications without any problem. Problems faced while building Mozilla : 1. Cross Compilation is giving a hell of a problem as the binaries generated for arm are required to build mozilla further. So obviously i get errors like "FILE IN WRONG FORMAT ".......Somehow its a lil silly becoz it totally nullifies the need of Cross-Compilation.......I would love to get some tips on this . 2. To overcome this issue , I got the gnu make on my target system and started Compiling Mozilla on arm itself. Believe me its a very irritating idea coz it takes around 2.5 hrs to build around 50% (obviously the processor speed is a big drawback-----300MHz). My work was going on well until i got messed up with some java utilities which needed "java, javac, javah, jar " tools. I tried to find the Source for JDK which i had planned to cross compile for arm but i was not able to get it on the net freely.........(If someone can share,it will be a big help). The only thing that was close to solving my problem was JDK built for arm4. But somehow it didn't work as for my system i need arm5 built. So here I am, totally stuck up and that too on the verge of getting a gr8 result. I need some help and if that can be provided by some of you experts it will be a big boost. As for any questions on GTK or DirectFB ......anyone and everyone is most Welcome.
