Bug 68261 – REQUEST/PATCH: firefox ebuild patch for headers/libs plus pkg-config files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED CANTFIX

[Description Hanno Zysik (geki) 2004-10-20 04:32:37 UTC]

mozilla-firefox does not install the available (nspr and nss) headers of its package. when i install mozilla this happens!

I am working on OpenOffice.org-2.0 milestone ebuilds and now there is the possibility to use system-mozilla-headers instead of using the "hacked" mozilla version shipped with OOo sources.

But I do not want to use mozilla, like many other users, i want to use firefox. so please install the headers, too with firefox merge. the headers are there waiting to get merged into the system...

also:
when i install mozilla, the headers get merged. but OOo could not find them! although OOo checks pkg-config. don't they get into pkg-config?

OOo looks for "pkg-config mozilla-nspr mozilla-nss".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-firefox
2. or
3. emerge mozilla

i copied the part where the headers get build and copied from mozilla to mozilla-firefox and it worked.

now there is just the pkg-config entry missing.

ok, pkg-config files done, but untested. ill add ebuild and *.pc files tomorrow, if it works ... or not and you do them better ;)
