I also read in some forum that x86 compilation is not supported and must do cross compilation with x64, is this true?

How to invoke ./configure from absolute path?

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/tmp/seamonkey-2.53.5.1$ ./home/tc/tmp/configure
sh: ./home/tc/tmp/configure: not found
P.S. the required dependencies are much higher than the version of tc repo (Autoconf-2.13, both GTK+-2.24.33 and GTK+-3.24.24, Python-2.7.18, rustc-1.47.0, UnZip-6.0, yasm-1.3.0, and Zip-3.0)

Hi cute curtis

... How to invoke ./configure from absolute path? ...

Code: [Select]

/home/tc/tmp/seamonkey-2.53.5.1/configure

[cute curtis]

ok, I PASSED the configure step. I know the second step is MAKE but I'm still confused with these statements:

from wiki

the following flags are required to ensure TC compliance for submission, example ./configure command:
        CC="gcc -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var

from linuxfromscratch

If you are compiling this package in chroot you must do two things. First, as the root user, ensure that /dev/shm is mounted. If you do not do this, the Python configury will fail with a traceback report referencing /usr/lib/pythonN.N/multiprocessing/synchronize.py. Run:
mountpoint -q /dev/shm || mount -t tmpfs devshm /dev/shm
Second, either as the root user export the $SHELL environment variable using export SHELL=/bin/sh or else prepend SHELL=/bin/sh when running the first make command.
Compile SeaMonkey by running the following commands:
CC=gcc CXX=g++ make -f client.mk

Did you try:

Code: [Select]

$ CC="gcc -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" make -f client.mk

Do I need to be in root first?

P.S. I just want to be cautious not to pollute the source folder before executing with MAKE command, will it revert back to it's original content after rebooting?

[Juanito]

..but I doubt that you are compiling in a chroot environment.

"make" should be run as user, "make install" as root.

Note that you need to save the files installed in order to make an extension out of them.

This is weird I now get nspr error but I passed the ./configure last time

Code: [Select]

DEBUG: configure:9100: checking NSPR selection
DEBUG: configure:9200: checking for nspr-config
DEBUG: configure:9235: checking for NSPR - version >= 4.25
DEBUG: configure: error: you do not have NSPR installed or your version is older than 4.25.
ERROR: old-configure failed

[Juanito]

tc-11.x x86 has nspr-4.18

[cute curtis]

where can I get higher than 4.25?

[Juanito]

If you can wait a few days, I’ll update it.

[Juanito]

nspr/nss updated

[cute curtis]

nspr/nss updated

Thanks

[cute curtis]

I cannot mark for deletion in Apps so I manually delete old nspr.tcz in Optional folder then downloaded the 4.27 but same fault resulted. How do I check thru terminal my nspr version?

Code: [Select]

DEBUG: configure:9235: checking for NSPR - version >= 4.25
DEBUG: configure: error: you do not have NSPR installed or your version is older than 4.25.


[Juanito]

You should use check for updates in the apps gui - you can also check the pkg-config file in nspr-dev
