Bug 31371 – Please add check for --enable-xinerama=yes/no in mozilla-* ebuilds

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description roger raymond 2003-10-17 12:21:11 UTC]

I would like to see the mozilla ebuilds check for the xinerama USE flag in
future ebuilds.  This allows the toolbar/bookmark folders to appear on one
screen rather than spanning into another window.

Easiest way to implement this is using

if [ -n "`use xinerama`" ] ; then
        myconf="${myconf} --enable-xinerama=yes"
else
        myconf="${myconf} --enable-xinerama=no"
fi

in the ebuild and removing the line that states

--enable-xinerama=no \

This pertains to the mozilla, mozilla-firebird and mozilla-thunderbird ebuilds
(as far as i can tell).

The mozilla-1.5 ebuilds never specify whether or not to use xinerama (defaulting
to no).

This is fixed in recent mozilla and firefox ebuilds, thanks
