Bug 11661 – Unable to build galeon against mozilla 1.2.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bernd Wurst 2002-12-06 01:26:01 UTC]

If you type "emerge galeon" at the moment, it will not compile. emerge builds
mozilla 1.2.1 (as the actual version of mozilla) and then galeon doesn't know
this version and gives me a configure-error. Last lines of configure output:


checking for gdk_superwin_get_type in -lgtksuperwin... yes
checking for gtk_moz_embed_get_type in -lgtkembedmoz... yes
checking for Mozilla... yes
checking Mozilla version... "1.2.1"
configure: error: :
***********************************************
Mozilla 1.2 is required but it seems you are building against
mozilla 1.2.1.
You need to provide the --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.0|1.1|1.2|trunk configure
option depending on whether your mozilla is 1.0|1.1|1.2 release branch or trunk
snapshot.
Successfull build is not guranteed due to the frequently changing state of
the mozilla interfaces and the limited resources of the galeon team to support
non-release mozilla snapshots.

And here is my emerge info:

When starting galeon it complains that is run with a different of mozilla  then
the version it was compiled against. But it seems to work oke.

Just add --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.2 to configure flags and build it.
