Hello, I recently played with building Thunderbird 3.0b1 from source (it works pretty well, btw). I was playing with some of the options to enable using the system versions of a number of libraries, rather than relying upon statically linking them into the project.
We should keep compile static link, because PNG folks disapprove Mozilla's APNG patch. It's what we did with Firefox 3.
Cheers, Mezz
One thing that I noticed was the APNG patch from here: * http://littlesvr.ca/apng/. This seems to be expected by Thunderbird and is part of the latest source tree. Mozilla has been maintaining a format spec here: * https://wiki.mozilla.org/APNG_Specification Sadly the patch has lagged behind the latest releases of libpng. I merged the patch into the latest version (1.2.33) that we use, and have made an appropriate change to the port files of graphics/png. I think that APNG support from libpng may be useful in other software as well. I am attaching the patch, to apply in /usr/ports, for anyone to test. So far it doesn't seem to regress anything for me, and I can use thunderbird 3 with --with-system-png=/usr/local in my .mozconfig. I'd like to see some other testers, and get a comment from the graphics/png maintainer.
