Subject: firefox issues on a PPC running YDL-4 [long]

The version of firefox that gets pulled down by garnome-2.9.91.1 builds
but does *not* run on a PPC running YDL-4.0.1 [see attached log].

The version built from the 16Feb05 CVS code does run properly.

==========================================================================

Discussion:
-----------
Prior to building garnome-2.9.91, I had installed a statically linked, 
binary version of firefox that I had pulled down from "The Code Factory"

	http://www.thecodefactory.org/mozilla/

The Code Factory version, which was built on a PPC running Debian,

        Linux kunk 2.4.27 #2 Wed Oct 27 23:43:00 CDT 2004 ppc GNU/Linux
        gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-13)

works just fine on my system, so I know a version of firefox can be
built that runs under YDL-4.0.1.

I was curious about building firefox so I downloaded, built, and
installed the current development FC3 SRPM

	firefox-1.08.src.rpm

It too failed to run.

I puzzled over these failures and concluded that there could be issues
with the build configuration, the source code, or both. What to do???

Yesterday I pulled down the CVS code and built firefox-1.0+ using a
simple configuration:

        . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
        mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR= TOPSRCDIR@/ff-opt
        
        ac_add_options --enable-optimize
        ac_add_options --disable-debug
        ac_add_options --with-pthreads
        ac_add_options --disable-tests
        ac_add_options --enable-xft
        ac_add_options --disable-freetype2
        ac_add_options --enable-xinerama
        ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2

that builds firefox under the current YDL_4.0.1 environment. Worked like
a charm!!!

Encouraged,  I switched configurations and used the one provided by
garmone-2.9.91.1, adding a "configure --prefix=/opt/garmone" flag to
pick up the latest garnome libraries and includes:

        . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
        mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR= TOPSRCDIR@/ff-garmone
                                                                                                        
        export BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
        export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
        mk_add_options BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
        mk_add_options MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
                                                                                                       
        ac_add_options --prefix=/opt/garmone
        ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
        ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
        ac_add_options --with-system-png
        ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
        ac_add_options --with-pthreads
        ac_add_options --enable-xft
        ac_add_options --enable-xinerama
        ac_add_options --enable-pango
        ac_add_options --enable-crypto
        ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
        ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
        ac_add_options --disable-postscript
        ac_add_options --disable-xprint
        ac_add_options --disable-strip
        ac_add_options --disable-jsd
        ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
        ac_add_options --disable-installer
        ac_add_options --disable-ldap
        ac_add_options --disable-svg
        ac_add_options --disable-pedantic
        ac_add_options --disable-mathml
        ac_add_options --disable-composer
        ac_add_options --disable-calendar
        ac_add_options --disable-activex
        ac_add_options --disable-tests
        ac_add_options --disable-debug
        ac_add_options --disable-dtd-debug
        ac_add_options --disable-freetype2

That also worked...


Postmortem:
-----------
I conclude that the problem was with the particular version of the
source code and not [necessarily] the configuration. 

I am still puzzling over the myriad of configuration options, trying to
ascertain "what to leave in, what to leave out".

Still running against the wind...
