Bug 279389 – www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.1 ebuild fails to build with multilib setup

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Thomas Sachau 2009-07-27 20:49:30 UTC]

This new version of firefox fails to build with multilib setup because it does only set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME in one phase. Since multilib portage does run every phase twice, the path in src_install will contain /usr/lib64, also it needs to be /usr/lib32. Setting the var also in src_install does fix this issue.

If it looks fine to you let me know and I will queue it for -r2

I dont see a need for the dodir command without argument, but else it looks ok and should work.

-r2 has been added to the tree with the proper fix.
