Building Phoenix: GTK+ 2.x + Xft

[joshk]

See topic - has anyone ever gotten such a build to even get as far as spawning a window without segfaulting?

[orochi]

im running it here for a couple months now... its stable too, heres my mozconfig


export CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -Os -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -Os -pipe"

export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
export MOZ_CALENDER=0
export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1

im running gentoo btw,
glibc 2.3.1
gcc 2.3.1

[hannibal]

It works fine for me, however I couldn't use all of the mozconfig options above; I had to remove --enable-xsl because of a compliation error in xpidl.

debian unstable, gcc 3.2, glib 2.3.1

I thought you had it running? I would guess you've been the ones with the builds on Ryan's website? right? along with Shadow?

btw, I wasn't able to figure what I am supposed to do with your builds, and Shadow's build simply sat there doing nothing (except take up memory). Of course, this is assuming you're the same person I'm talking about.

And now I'm quite confused...because I was under the impression (screenshots and all) that your build worked.

[joshk]

The builds I make are GTK+ 1.2 and Xft.
Thus far..

Ahhh, ok.

I really gotta update to sid and see if my computer still runs then maybe I can get the cool stuff running

If you want GTK+ 2.x, then why not just use Galeon2?

Questions about orochi's ~/.mozconfig. Can anyone give a good explanation of these options, and a good reason why I should include them in my build? Thanks.

--with-pthreads

--enable-reorder

--enable-strip
--enable-strip-libs

--enable-cpp-rtti
--enable-cpp-extensions

--enable-old-abi-compat-wrappers

--with-x
--with-system-jpeg
--with-system-zlib
--with-system-png
--with-system-mng

--enable-nspr-autoconf
--with-system-nspr

--with-pthreads

I guess this forces the build to use pthreads. I figured it did this automatically so I left it out of my .mozconfig.

--enable-reorder

not sure about this one

--enable-strip
--enable-strip-libs

these strip the executables and libraries, useful if you're not going to be doing any debugging

--enable-cpp-rtti
--enable-cpp-extensions

--enable-old-abi-compat-wrappers

These are C++ related, I don't have them in my mozconfig either.. can someone explain why they are there?

--with-x
--with-system-jpeg
--with-system-zlib
--with-system-png
--with-system-mng

these tell configure to use the system's installed libraries; I thought it did this anyway?

--enable-nspr-autoconf
--with-system-nspr

I suppose these are related to if you have libnspr installed on your system seperately or something. I'm not sure.

1. So, what are pthreads, and does mozilla compile with them by default anyway?

2. --enable-reorder. Anyone know what this does and why I should use it?

3. --enable-strip --enable-strip-libs. Sounds good since I won't be debugging. But what sort of benefit do I get for enabling this option? Maybe mozilla runs faster?

4. --enable-cpp-rtti --enable-cpp-extension --enable-old-abi-compat-wrappers. Are these just compiler warning options? Or, do they actually cause the code to be compiled differently? What is the benefit?

5. --with-x --with-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib --with-system-png --with-system-mng. So does mozilla use the system's installed libraries by default, or is it necessary to use these options? What is the benefit of enabling this option?

6. --enable-nspr-autoconf --with-system-nspr. What is nspr? What benefit do I get from enabling this?

Thanks.

1. pthreads is POSIX Threads. Multithreading. It's good, don't worry. I suspect that this is in to force use of posix threads over other thread libraries.

2. see my last post

3. Stripped libraries and executables take up less space, for one thing.

4. see my last post

5. I'm not sure, but I figured it used the system's libraries by default. Mozilla doesn't ship with libjpeg, libpng etc, after all.

6. NSPR is the cross-platform library from Netscape, used in Mozilla. I'm not sure what these do, though.

Just finished building with GTK 2, works fine on Red Hat 8.0 You can expect it to show up on Ryan's server later today ( link )

[Franck]

Unable to install extensions with the gtk2 build under rh8.0 : phoenix close immediately.

Extension installation works fine with the phoenix-xft-martijn-i686-pc-linux-gnu-20030116

export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
export MOZ_CALENDER=0
export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1

mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1

1. Why is there an "export MOZ_PHOENIX=1" and at the same time, a "mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1"? In order to enable the building of phoenix, is it really necessary to include BOTH of these lines?

2. Similar question regarding "export MOZ_CALENDAR=0" and "export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1". In the body of the .mozconfig, there is already a "ac_add_options --disable-calendar" and a "ac_add_options --enable-xft". So, what is the purpose of these two export lines, since these two options already are enabled?

[agamid]

I'm wondering... do we also need the export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT=1 line?
I built with --enable-xft and it seems to give me AA fonts.
I did not use the export MOZ_ENABLE_XFT line.
