It's because crashreporter tries to include <curl/types.h> which curl stopped providing in version 7.21.7. In curl 7.21.7 that header is basically empty anyway.

Please note that current firefox ebuild doesn't specify any dependency on curl at all, see bug 374963.

Same problem with seamonkey and icecat.

I meant: In curl 7.21.6 that header is basically empty anyway.

xulrunner-2.0.1-r1 also fails to build with newer curl.

firefox-5.0-r2.ebuild.patch

This ebuild patch removes the necessary includes from firefox-5.0. The same fix should be applied to the earlier versions and packages in this bug.

Upstream already have an approved patch, for mozilla-central at least:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/aa5bfc851c35

Upstream firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673072
Comment 9 Billy DeVincentis 2011-07-23 12:34:22 UTC
This seems to affect ALL Mozilla products. In reemerging my system, firefox, thunderbird, seamonkey, and xulrunner all failed. Hope the upstream patches get put into portage soon.
Comment 10 Guy 2011-07-24 19:02:49 UTC
Rather than wait for the individual patches a bunch of ebuilds (like all the Mozilla based group, raptor and potentially others) it might be best to simply mask the latest version of curl.

Since the header file involved is basically empty and it's removal upstream appears to be housekeeping related there doesn't and I haven't seen any packages requiring the latest version of curl, masking and giving this issue time to work out might be the best thing for most of us users to do.

First: mask latest curl
   echo ">=net-misc/curl-7.21.7" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Second: emerge curl to ensure downgrade to last version of curl which includes needed header.
   emerge curl

Last - finish your upgrades (with the understanding you'll need to revisit this issue at a future date).
   emerge -1uND @world (or whatever else you were doing)

Also, the recommendation to do USE="-crashreporter" doesn't bypass the issue.

Note that anything with 'xulrunner' as a dependency will fail. This may be why firefox et al also fail.
Comment 11 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-07-25 10:49:56 UTC
Mozilla team, please fix this asap. It's a simple fix (just remove the includes, the header contains one comment, nothing else, since 2004) and curl-7.21.7 is a security bump and should go stable asap.
Comment 12 Billy DeVincentis 2011-07-25 11:47:42 UTC
The upstream patch works perfectly for firefox. The principal is the same for seamonkey but the patch needs to be modified for seamonkey. If anyone cares to step up....

Curl Patch for www-client/seamonkey-2.2-r1

Just created this patch for Seamonkey. Compiles and works for me.

I appreciate you updating the patch for seamonkey-2.2, however we can simply do the same sed with a slighly modified path for each file which resides in ${S}/mozilla/.

Firefox-5.0 and Thunderbird-5.0 have been fixed, I will have to double check xulrunner-1.9.2.x before curl-7.21.7 can go stable, but should be just as trivial as Firefox-5.0. Seamonkey-2.2 and Icecat-5.0 will follow suit Seamonkey stable will also be addressed soon as Lars has a chance.

Thanks. The fix is always trivial, here's the header from 7.21.4:
~ % cat /usr/include/curl/types.h 
/* not used */
~ % 

So there was no API break ;)
