mozilla.org seems to be down. I'll try hacking together an ebuild when it reappears.
could you do a -bin ebuild too just like firebird has? thanks
Yes, I will, if I can. However, I'm having some serious problems with the Thunderbird 0.3 source. I keep getting the compile breaking about 5 files in with nsinstall. This is really annoying me... I might actually have a go at doing the -bin ebuild now and get back to the meatier issue of getting the thing to compile once I've done that. Watch this space, or perhaps one near it...
Could you, please, post the ebuilds you've created so far? We can take a look and help you with those problems you've mentioned... Radek
Created attachment 19340 [details] ebuild for Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3 This is an ebuild for Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3. The code is actually broken and as such cannot - and will not - support SSE or SSE2. This apparently has fewer issues with GCC 3.2.x, but seeing as 3.3.1 is now no longer hard masked it makes sense to get rid of these flags. Any troubles with this ebuild, please reply here. Note that I haven't yet attempted to knock together a -bin ebuild - I'll hopefully be able to do this tomorrow, or at the very worst by Monday.
Sorry, additional note - please UNMERGE mozilla-thunderbird and/or mozilla-thunderbird-cvs before attempting to merge this package or the programme WILL NOT WORK.
I'd be particularly interested to hear from anyone who's using the 2.6 series of kernels and/or GCC 3.3.1 and/or glibc-2.3.2-r6 (or newer) - any chance of some feedback on this? Obviously it's not going to find its way into portage if only one person can vouch for it working...
I use kernel 2.6.0beta7, gcc 3.2.3 and glibc 2.3.2-r1. I don't think that these packages are related to my problem but i get the following ouput: +++ making chrome /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-thunderbird-0.3/work/mozilla/mail/extensions/smime => ../../../dist/bin/chrome/en-US.jar +++ overriding locale/en-US/messenger/am-smime.dtd updating: locale/en-US/messenger/am-smime.dtd (stored 0%) nsMailApp.cpp gtkmozembed2.cpp EmbedPrivate.cpp EmbedWindow.cpp EmbedProgress.cpp EmbedContentListener.cpp EmbedEventListener.cpp EmbedWindowCreator.cpp EmbedStream.cpp TestGtkEmbed.cpp * Building Enigmail plugin... make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. !!! ERROR: net-www/mozilla-thunderbird-0.3 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 167, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) please note that i use the -s flag for make to keep the ouput of make at a minimum. I guess that thunderbird actually compiled well, i will retry with USE="-crypt" to see if only the enigmail plugin fails. Any hints on how to get enigmail working?
without enigmail thunderbird 0.3 ebuild works for me, thanks for that ebuild
I'm also having Enigmail problems, actually. It appears to compile, but then it either doesn't, or it doesn't install it. Note that for this ebuild to even *try* to compile Enigmail, you have to copy over the files/ directory from the original net-mail/mozilla-thunderbird directory, otherwise it won't have a Makefile to use; I suspect that this may be your problem. I'm away until Sunday evening now, but when I get back I'll have another go. Oh, and if anyone can find out what "/content/am-enigprefs.xul" is, I'd be extremely generous indeed...
Could you update the ebuild to include spellchecking? Edit the line: --enable-extensions=wallet \ to be: --enable-extensions=wallet,spellcheck \
Adrian: Will test and add that, thanks for the reminder.
You folks having enigmail problems - what kernel versions are you using? 2.6 is being a serious problem with mozilla builds it seems.
I'm having enigmail proglems, but I'm on 2.4.23. I haven't tried this latest ebuild tho.
Created attachment 19638 [details] mozilla-thunderbird-bin-0.3.ebuild (tar.gz archive) I just wrote ebuild of "-bin", and append ebuild. How is it?
A -bin ebuild is planned for future inclusion - thanks Closing this particular bug, as 0.3 is in portage.
