Description Michal Suchanek 2004-09-06 08:22:38 UTC
Mozilla Firefox built by portage does not work on macos.
It only creates a 1x1 pixel window and does nothing.

Mozilla Firefox built from mozilla.org source by hand works fine - with gtk2 interface and all.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. inject gnome and gtk libs from fink (they do not compile from portage yet)
2. USE='macos gnome gtk2 ipv6 perl truetype xft xprint linguas_C linguas_POSIX linguas_en_US linguas_en_US.UTF-8 lingua
s_cs_CZ linguas_cs_CZ.UTF-8' ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=ppc emerge mozilla-firefox
(use flags extracted from environment.bz2, cannot find the terminal where  I typed them)
3. run firefox

Actual Results:  
1x1 pixel useless window appears

Expected Results:  
firefox

I compiled mozilla-firefox from 0.9.3 firefox source by running
make -f client.mk checkout, make -f client.mk build, fixing small problems,
rebuilding.

I'm trying to compile camino from source, still having problem that I don't know by what are caused.

Anyway I've succesfully emerged glib-1.2.10 and orbit-0.5, the main dependecy for building mozilla on macosx(there is also Shared Menu's, but obviously it isn't part of portage, maybe they can be).

Dunno for gtk.

There's no indication in this bug what version it applies to.  Also no emerge --info output.

Try with mozilla-firefox-1.0-r2 then re-open if necessary with info.

Last second I saw "I compiled mozilla-firefox from 0.9.3 firefox" so I guess you provided some info. ;-)  Please try 1.0-r2 and re-open if needed.
