Yellow Dog Linux

Hi everyone,

I've just built Firefox ESR 10.0.6 from the CentOS srpms for YDLforCUDA (x86_64). I've simplified my build process - you just need to add two lines to the xulrunner spec file and one line to the firefox spec file, then rebuild the RPMs from there.

billb - do you have time to build this for PowerPC? My PS3 (still) doesn't have enough memory. I can provide SRPMs for both of these - Firefox & Xulrunner.

Cheers,
Paul

P.S. As always - if anyone is interested in the YDL for CUDA build, drop me a line, and I'll point you at the RPM binaries.

Think I can get to that this weekend.

Thanks, billb - you're a peach!

If it helps any, I've actually placed the srpms with my updated spec files in my normal drop directory for you. Look in the ydlforcuda/firefox_10.0.6 subfolder.

Cheers,
Paul

Uh oh ... on building xulrunner:

Code: Select all

checking for Python version >= 2.5 but not 3.x... configure: error: Python 2.5 or higher (but not Python 3.x) is required.

Code: Select all

rpm -q python

python-2.4.3-24.6.ydl6.2

python-2.4.3-24.6.ydl6.2

Hmm - my version isn't that much higher:

Code: Select all

rpm -q python

python-2.4.3-27.el5

Odd... I'll have to take a look at it again ... it's not a requirement listed in the .spec.

billb - where did you get that xulrunner from? I just tried it again, and mine uses this logic:

Code: Select all

checking for Python version >= 2.4 but not 3.x... yes

so it passes.

You might be trying to build from the CentOS 6 repository. See my note here on your other issue:

I'm pretty sure I was trying to rebuild from the SRPMS I downloaded from you in that location, but will double check.

Got webm-enabled xulrunner and firefox ESR 10.0.6 RPMs built OK -- will add them to the ps3bodega repo soon.

OK -- Firefox ESR 10.0.6 is now available from the ps3bodega-testing repo. Install or update using the same method described here:

I'm planning to move Firefox ESR 10.0.6 and related packages from ps3bodega-testing to the regular ps3bodega repo for YDL 6.2 this weekend. Will update install instructions accordingly when ready.

Done!
