Firefox 1.5.0.7

The preparation and configuration follows the instructions in the BLFS book.

For my system I only want to have a 32-bit version of Firefox to have a browser with working flash and QuickTime plugins.

Additionally to the suggested configuration of .mozconfig in the book I appended the following lines:

 # Set librarypath for X libs
 ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

 # Disable GNOME dependencies
 ac_add_options --disable-gnomevfs
 ac_add_options --disable-gnomeui

So here is my complete configuration: firefox-1.5.0.7-mozconfig

I compiled everything with the following command:

 setarch athlon

 LDEMULATION="elf_i386" \
     LDFLAGS="-L$XORG_PREFIX/lib" \
     CC="gcc -m32" \
     CXX="g++ -m32" \
     nice -n 19 make -f client.mk build

 exit

The compilation interrupted a few times because only the 64-bit X libraries were found for linking. So I just invoked the failed commands by hand with the correct path.

Installation worked as described in BLFS.
