Bug 36167 – Mozilla-Firebird compilation and the PC-Speaker

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Ioannis Aslanidis (RETIRED) 2003-12-20 02:32:09 UTC]

Each time I have compiled Mozilla-Firebird, in any computer I have tried, always at compile time, it makes the PC-Speaker beep... this is quite annoying (mostly at night) so I wonder wether I have been doing something wrong or it's just a bug (??) in the compilation.

In fact, it does compile, but during compilation it produces random pc-speaker beeps...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-firebird

Actual Results:  
The pc-speaker beeps during compilation, it's not a continuous beep, but random
in time short time beeps.

Expected Results:  
Beeps should not be produced.

Believe it or not, this is a Frequently Asked Question and is addressed in the online FAQ list:

Incredible! But the question is... why? Why does it do it? There must be a logical explanation after all...

TY for the FAQ link.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2003-12-22 22:15:20 UTC]

perhaps the moz people can explain exactly why ?

at any rate the bug is closed, we have a FAQ for this ;)

Does this mean this bug should be reported at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ ??
