Bug 667704 – www-client/firefox-60.2.2: build fails: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description fkater 2018-10-04 10:45:36 UTC]

Building firefox-60.2.2 fails here with error: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0.

Workaround:

cd /usr/lib/
ln -s libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 libgtk-x11-2.0.so

The same applied to 60.2.1 while 60.2.0 was ok.

A snipped from the very long build.log:

Reproducible: Always

Update:

The missing link was recreated by recompiling gtk+:2.

While I am very sure that I did not remove that link by accident myself, you may close this issue.

Thanks, closing as invalid for now because not a bug within firefox ebuild.
