I unmasked and tried to build mozilla 1.1 r1, I got this error:

gcc -o Linux2.4_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/nsinstall.o -c -O2 -fPIC -DLINUX1_2 -Di386
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DLINUX2_1 -ansi  -pipe -DLINUX -Dlinux -D_POSIX_SOURCE

mkdir: cannot create directory `Linux2.4_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ': File exists
make[1]: *** [Linux2.4_x86_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/pathsub.o] Error 1

This was with gcc 2.95.3. I have gtk2 installed. My use flag is: USE="-kde -avi
-java -qt -arts -reiserfs".

Xft Patch to fix the building of Mozilla 1.0's Xft building problem.

This finally fixes the problem with Mozilla 1.0 and Xft.

Ebuild updated with new fix patch for xft

This is the updated ebuild for Mozilla for use with the new patch.

[Comment 3 Eric Renfro 2002-09-10 21:27:09 UTC]

Oh yeah. I put in an einfo "Enabling XFT support..." line around the DISABLE_XFT
area of the ebuild. Might want to take it back out. :) Although, it shows how
many times it keeps running through the same segments over and over again..

I have seen this before.  And the more generic fix is to create symlinks
of the missing headers in the dir that failure occurs.  I will fix it one
way or another, but it would have been nice to know why it fails only in
rare cases.

Ok, added the symlink stuff to the ebuilds.
