0.6 Xft build

[Laurentbon]

Has someone already come with a linux xft build of 0.6? I can't wait to update my linux build!
I will take any available link!

Is Xft the anti-aliased font ? If it is, I will also take any link

[ferret]

First person to make one gets a cookie...

[Laurentbon]

A cookie, I don't know, but the privilege to be the first linux-xft firebird 0.6 creator! There seems to be an empty folder 'contrib' here...

Here you go...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~iarnell/phoenix-xft/MozillaFirebird-xft-0.6.tar.bz2
Sould also be available here soon
http://pryan.org/phoenix/iarnell/MozillaFirebird-xft-0.6.tar.bz2

Edit: This is built on RedHat 9, using gcc 3.2 and glibc 2.3.2. No guarantees that it will work on other systems.

[Laurentbon]

This is great, thanks!
However, when I run the executable, I have the following error:

./MozillaFirebird-bin: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /root/Downloaded/MozillaFirebird/libnspr4.so)

I never had any problems with your builds before iarnell... Sorry, but have you got any idea of how I can sort that out?
Cheers for the help..

Oddly i cannot get the java plugin to be reconized at all with this XFT build. Anyone having problems?

[iarnell]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it's built on RedHat 9 with glibc-2.3.2. You can probably expect problems on other systems.
To use the java plugin, you can either download the gcc3.2 build of 1.4.1 from Blackdown, or grab the J2SE 1.4.2 beta from Sun.

[pr0c]

Ohhhh! Thanks I'd rather use suns latest beta anyway. I don't feel right running non-beta software hehe

Ooops. My bad. In my rush to get it built, I used the standard mozconfig (from the old Phoenix readme + xft). I'm rebuilding it now --without-system-nspr, et al.

[pr0c]

if you don't mind will you please post your .mozconfig file?

[iarnell]

I've just uploaded the correct build. Here's the mozconfig

Code: Select all

export MOZ_PHOENIX=1
mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1
export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
mk_add_options MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
export BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
mk_add_options BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
ac_add_options --enable-crypto

What is necessary to compile an xft build on a system as I am using a Debian Sarge system with glib 2.2.1-3

I can't run your new build either. I guess it is because you use glibc-2.3.2 on your RH9. My distro, slackware 9, probably uses an older version of glibc... I will see if I can upgrade, otherwise, I will have to stick with an older firebird for the time being...

Edited: confirm, slackware 9 uses glibc 2.3.1 and I can't find a slackware package to update to 2.3.2. Not to worry, will think about it!

[iarnell]

That's strange. My earlier builds were RH9 too - you should have had a problem with them as well.

Of course, you don't have to stick with the milestone. guidob is making daily builds on Slackware 9. You can always grab his 20030517 build.
