Has anyone had success building FireFox for a PowerPC
target - I'm using the development branch (org.openembedded.dev)
MACHINE=efika
DISTRO = "angstrom-2008.1"
I've tried to build a number of different FireFox packages,
none with success. So far I've tried 2.0.0.3, 3.5.2& 3.6.2
Any pointers?
Query: is there an easy way to build a particular package version?
What I've done is just add a line like this to my local.conf:
PREFERRED_VERSION_firefox="3.5.2"
what errors do you get.
It depends on the version. For 3.6.2 (latest), I get this:

Note: to even get this far, I had to apply the attached patch
as the default setup falls apart with regard to va_list processing.
Oh man that takes me (and I bet you too) back... Sounds like mozilla
needs some patching again. Maybe the ppcnux folks have one somewhere
already tho?
I didn't find anything there.
That said, this seems to be a [Make] parallelism problem, not clear why/how.
If I just rerun 'bitbake firefox' which restarts the compile step, it will
run to completion. I do normally use -j4, but disabling this did not seem
to make any difference.
Note: the previous version I built (3.5.2) did not exhibit this behaviour.
