Bug 154163 – build of epiphany 2.14 fails with firefox use flag and mozilla-firefox-2.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061105 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: 

Just installed GNOME yesterday and have tried to build epiphany-2.14 three
times; each time it fails at the same place with the same error, after
attempting to build a sidebar against firefox. I've attached the output of the
last build message and error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unmask ~x86 for www-client/mozilla-firefox
2. emerge www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0
3. emerge www-client/epiphany

Actual Results:  
Build output until the attached error.

Expected Results:  
I'm not a programmer; I'd say that it (epiphany) should maybe check if you have
firefox 2.0 installed and then warn you that it's incompatible, or the build of
epiphany should be fixed to work against firefox 2.0.

Created attachment 101286 [details]
Last build function, emerge errors

AFAIK, epiphany-2.16 is the first version to support firefox-2 so this is not a bug.

[Comment 3 Devin Heckman 2006-11-05 12:05:44 UTC]

Alright, this would definitely be a problem with my knowledge, and I apologize for wasting QA time if this is indeed the case. I'm going to test 2.16 right now.

[Comment 4 Devin Heckman 2006-11-05 12:18:47 UTC]

Alright. 2.16.1 compiled, so this won't be a problem once that goes stable.

This can be WONTFIX'd or INVALID'd as you see fit.

[Comment 5 Mart Raudsepp 2006-11-06 00:56:51 UTC]

Might want to have epiphany-2.14 dep on mozilla-firefox-1.* or something then, imho. Matching the ebuild visibilities is always good, of course.

[Comment 6 Devin Heckman 2006-11-06 01:24:57 UTC]

I'd tend to agree, at least to stop bugs like this from cropping up, and for people who want to stay with lower versions of epiphany (if there is any reason to) or firefox.

[Comment 7 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-11-06 12:29:24 UTC]

Hmm... 2.16.0 had that dep at one point, but it got removed ff-2.0 worked.  I've fixed the deps for 2.14.x
