Description Ronald Hummelink 2003-07-14 07:46:51 UTC

Mozilla build detects the kernel version somewhere and uses a file in
/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.4/work/mozilla/security/coreconf/
On linux 2.4 this is Linux2.4.mk, linux 2.5 uses Linux2.5.mk, but there is no
Linux2.6.mk file needed to succesfully build mozilla with this detected kernel
version.

I didn't retry this since mozilla takes very very long to build.
However i copied the Linux2.5.mk to Linux2.6.mk and ran ebuild
mozilla-1.4.ebuild compile followed by ebuild mozilla-1.4 install and finally
ebuild mozilla-1.4 qmerge to end up with a working mozilla :)

Reproducible: Didn't try
