I succeeded in build of Firefox(trunk, gtk2) with the following tools.

Compaq C++ V6.5-042
pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.gz
freetype-2.1.7.tar.gz
pcre-5.0.tar.gz
render-0.8.tar.gz
expat-1.95.8.tar.gz
fontconfig-2.3.1.tar.gz
xrender-0.8.3.tar.gz
libXft-2.1.7.tar.gz
glib-2.8.4.tar.gz
atk-1.10.3.tar.gz
cairo-1.0.2.tar.gz
pango-1.10.1.tar.gz
gtk+-2.8.7.tar.gz
popt-1.7.tar.gz
libIDL-0.8.6.tar.gz
ORBit2-2.13.2.tar.gz
and so on.

The compilation of some tools require patches.
e.g. ORBit2, cairo, expat and tools using "ld -pthread" when linking.

Below is how I configured mozilla so far (part of my makefile to build
a product kit). This builds with cxx V6.1-029 and runs with glib
v1.2.10, gtk+ v1.2.10, libIDL v0.6.8.

However, one of the problems I have with this is that images (bmp,
jpeg, png) are displayed in a screwed fashion by the browser. When I
clean gtk+ from the system and build with
--enable-default-toolkit=xlib, the image problem is gone but others
appear, e.g. mozilla hanging every time when I close one of its windows
(e.g. the properties box).

Hi.
The problem(build OK, but cannot run) is occurred to the following
environment too.
target Firefox is trunk version.
Compaq C++ V7.1-006(V6.5-042 has no problem.)
gtk+ v1.2.10
glib v1.2.10
ORBit(libIDL) v0.5.7

Strangely, it is possible to run Firefox builded with -gall option.

----- begin .mozconfig -------
.. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=""
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-extensions="default -negotiateauth"
ac_add_options --without-system-nspr
ac_add_options --without-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --without-system-png
ac_add_options --without-system-mng
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk
----- end .mozconfig -------

build command(with -g, -gall option)
$ gmake -f client.mk \
CC="cc -pthread -g" \
CXX="cxx -pthread -gall" \
SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
build

The problem I faced when I tried to build mozilla 1.7.12 with gtk2 is
that ./configure asked for libIDL >= 0.8. This is quite contrary to
what I have read: mozilla's IDL generator (xpidl) works with libIDL
0.6x versions only. I have tried 0.86 - and xpidl failed miserably ...

So what versions of the Gnome packages do you use?

libIDL
glib2
gtk2

Hi Albert,

Sorry that I can't give you any answer to your question since I am
still using V6.1-029.

What I would like to ask you is what X toolkit and version you build
against: gtk, gtk2 or xlib?

I have been struggling building mozilla for quite some time now and any
combination is either so buggy (gtk, xlib) that it is unusable or does
not even build (gtk2).

TIA
Urs

Has anyone built Firefox 1.0.7 with the latest C++ compiler, v7.1? It
builds successfully but we get a lot of:
Incurred fault #32, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0x000003FF80194588 addr = 0x000000011FFFA370
errors when running the executable with truss. The V6.5-042 compiler
has no problems running Firefox 1.0.7.

When IBM upgraded their compiler to v7, Firefox crashed on startup
(PR275004). It was due to a different stack layout in the new
compiler.

I've read through the release notes for the v7.1 compiler but don't
see anything obvious that would cause a problem.
