What a messed up project I have. I need to run firefox3 at work on a
non-gentoo distro, yet it won't build, and the binary won't print,
because of an out of date gtk lib (gtk+-unix-print-2.0.pc) which I
can't update for reasons beyond my control. However, it builds and
runs and prints on my home gentoo box, so I had the brilliant idea of
building a static firefox3 there and running it at work.
The destructions on how to build a static firefox don't work, or maybe
I just have old fashioned on what a static executable should look
like. I would have expected ldd to show just one monolithic command.
Instead it shows 57 lines of output, with a complaint that libnss.so
is not version NSS_3.12. This is hard masked in portage. Could that
prevent making a proper static executable? Or has the definition of a
static executable changed to allow external libraries?
