Wait, what? I can't be that stupid

. where is that hardcoded?

3. fremantle build target calls a routine to check for sb2. I don't have this setup.

You are not supposed to have sb2, it is for Harmattan build

xulrunner-package/build.sh

Code:

  "fremantle")
    echo "Building for fremantle"
    ROOTFSNAME=FREMANTLE_ARMEL_GCC472
    SBOX_PATH=/scratchbox
    check_sbox_rootfs
    NEED_SBOX2=true
    setup_qt_version
    MOZCONFIG=mozconfig.qtN900-qt-cross-x
    export HOST_QMAKE="$CDR/cross-tools/host-qmake-4.7.4"
    export HOST_MOC="$CDR/cross-tools/host-moc-4.7.4"
    export MOC="$CDR/cross-tools/host-moc-4.7.4"
    export HOST_RCC="$CDR/cross-tools/host-rcc-4.7.4"
    export RCC="$CDR/cross-tools/host-rcc-4.7.4"
    export TARGET_ROOTFS=$SBOX_PATH/users/$USERNAME/targets/$ROOTFSNAME
    export CROSS_COMPILER_PATH=$SBOX_PATH/compilers/linaro-4.7-2012.07-fremantle-armv7a/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi
    export SYSROOT=$SBOX_PATH/compilers/linaro-4.7-2012.07-fremantle-armv7a/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc
    ;;

Edit: I could change ROOTFSNAME actually, wasn't looking at file at the time, based on output instead. Sbox2 is still there though. Changed rootfsname and it got a bit further but it's still a little misleading.

Edit: Make sure checkout.sh is run before build.sh Ooops

toldya https://github.com/tmeshkova/xulrunn.../build.sh#L163

I've always build within scratchbox(with dpkg-buildpackage), never used that build script

debian dir on tmeshkova supports maemo5 build under cssu-thumb target, never tried it in stock SB armel target

I have a second gcc 4.7 linaro target set up almost like thumb one (but I just skipped the thumb repos adding, and I don't pass thumb flags to compiler so in theory it should build everything compatible with non-thumb).

I remember someone reporting that one of recent versions cannot be build for Maemo properly... I think it happend when Mozilla switched their JavaScript engine and page scrolling or something and it happened in 18th version... It might be some post of tanago in thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88682 , but I'm not sure now. By the way, that's the thread where the idea of new gcc target with older dev packages appeared as far as I remember. I'll try to build the 17 version.

Taking a while, distracted by GTA

Might be worth noting python2.7/python2.7-minimal broken.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python2.7: Depends: python2.7-minimal (= 2.7.3~rc2-2.1-maemo5) but 2.7.3~rc2-2.1-maemo6 is to be installed

Package interface shows maemo3.

Edit: Also required new rule to prevent configure error. I think there is a better solution but I wanted to at least get a build started. I think I'll need to wait till I get to PC though as its gonna take forever on here.

Code:

configure: error: Necko WiFi scanning needs DBus on your platform, remove --disable-dbus or use --disable-necko-wifi

Code:

echo "ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi" >> $(CURDIR)/$(MOZCONFIG_FILE)

You should notify Aapo about the python2.7 problem.
Maybe you can upload your source package (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -S). I have the build environment working, and can try what works (right now no wonder I couldn't build it with the ./build.sh

)

I had to stop build last night, was gonna take way too long on my Eee

PM'd Aapo about python.

Setup a new build target this morning on PC (Debian 7 in VBox..

stupid mmap_min_addr/qemu grrr). Just beginning to pull in all repo's. It was ~1.36GB just for mozilla-central, 3734956 counted objects

.

Don't know how far I'll get with build now today, had a call from work just now. With regards to a source package, it'll be very big (by comparison to others) so I'd need somewhere to upload it. After two borked attempts last night I started using dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b just to speed things up.

Edit:Mozilla build deps are for python but needs python2.7.
No check for libqt4-dev/qmake package.

It's big, because of .git directory. Remove it and it'll shrink immediately. (these are all the previous versions)

With regards to necko wifi, mozilla wiki mentions needing wireless-tools. Don't know if we want feature, just want something built first.

Guys, there is more to be fixed besides necko-wifi, I'll try to push what is needed by the end of the day.

Also, a patch is needed for gstreamer support, that can't go into upstream, I'll discuss with romaxa if putting it in debian/patches is a good idea
