Description Mikko Tiihonen 2004-04-27 16:08:24 UTC
checking for mozilla version... 1.7rc1
configure: error:
*****************************************************************************
Epiphany can be built using Mozilla 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7,
but the version available is 1.7rc1.
*****************************************************************************

The actual configure file contains:
 1.7a) MOZILLA_SNAPSHOT=14 ;;
 1.7b) MOZILLA_SNAPSHOT=15 ;;
  1.7) MOZILLA_SNAPSHOT=15 ;;

Adding the following line allowed me to compile it
 1.7rc1) MOZILLA_SNAPSHOT=15 ;;

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Ugly, unnecessary hack.  I suspect that the epiphany team will release a new version that is compatible with the current trunk anyday, like they've always done.  
Comment 2 gent_bz 2004-05-04 20:11:29 UTC
Epiphany 1.2.5 exhibits the same problem - it will not configure with mozilla-1.7-rc1 - and can be fixed with the same 'ugly hack'

An alternative approach would be to add "--with-mozilla-snapshot=1.7" to the ebuild if 1.7rc1 is installed.

ie
use gnome \
        && G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-nautilus-view=yes" \
        || G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-nautilus-view=no"

becomes:
use gnome \
        && G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-nautilus-view=yes --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.7" \
        || G2CONF="${G2CONF} --enable-nautilus-view=no --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.7"

might not be problematic for the final, but its only a detection problem.
Comment 4 jake hawkes 2004-06-24 12:57:48 UTC
is this the root cause of this error?

: undefined reference to `nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base [not-in-charge]()'
../embed/mozilla/.libs/libephymozillaembed.a(GtkNSSKeyPairDialogs.o)(.text+0x8f2): In function `GtkNSSKeyPairDialogs::DisplayGeneratingKeypairInfo(nsIInterfaceRequestor*, nsIKeygenThread*)':

I cannot currently compile epiphany and I get thousands of errors similar to these.  I'm on mozilla 1.6-r1

or is this a bug all on its own
Comment 5 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-03 22:18:41 UTC
Since we have epiphany 1.2.6 in portage with support for mozilla 1.7 we can probably close this.
Comment 6 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-05 11:05:02 UTC
wontfix, this isnt a problem for the final version
