Hi list, I ran into some problem while compiling firefox on debian sid when building 2.21.9x.
error is: g++ -I/home/garnome/garnome/include -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -pedantic -I/home/garnome/garnome/include -L/home/garnome/garnome/lib -O2 -pipe -fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O -fPIC -shared -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-h,libxpcom_compat_c.so -o libxpcom_compat_c.so nsXPCOMObsolete.o nsRegistry.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/home/garnome/garnome/lib -L../../../dist/bin -lxpcom -lxpcom_core -L../../../dist/bin -L../../../dist/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -L/home/garnome/garnome/lib -lpthread -ldl -L../../../dist/lib -lxpcom_compat -Wl,--version-script -Wl,../../../build/unix/gnu-ld-scripts/components-version-script -Wl,-Bsymbolic -ldl -lm nsXPCOMObsolete.o:(.data.rel.ro+0x18): undefined reference to `nsFileSpecImpl::Create(nsISupports*, nsID const&, void**)' nsXPCOMObsolete.o:(.data.rel.ro+0x50): undefined reference to `nsDirectoryIteratorImpl::Create(nsISupports*, nsID const&, void**)' /usr/bin/ld: libxpcom_compat_c.so: hidden symbol `nsFileSpecImpl::Create(nsISupports*, nsID const&, void**)' isn't defined /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libxpcom_compat_c.so] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/garnome/src/garnome-2.21.92/bootstrap/firefox/work/main.d/mozilla/xpcom/obsolete/component' make[3]: *** [libs] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/garnome/src/garnome-2.21.92/bootstrap/firefox/work/main.d/mozilla/xpcom/obsolete' make[2]: *** [tier_2] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/garnome/src/garnome-2.21.92/bootstrap/firefox/work/main.d/mozilla' make[1]: *** [default] Error 2 After some google-ing i found out about bug #377178 (in debian bts) where it is said that there is a visibility problem with gcc-4.2. The problem is solved by building firefox with "VISIBILITY_FLAGS=-fvisibility=hidden" as environment variable, then build and install process went fine when running: make -C /home/garnome/src/garnome-2.21.92/bootstrap/firefox install VISIBILITY_FLAGS=-fvisibility=hidden I don't know if it is debian or gcc-4.2 specific, maybe the problem can be referenced in the faq.
