Xulrunner-1.9.1.2

Installation of Xulrunner

The configuration of Xulrunner is accomplished by creating a .mozconfig file containing the desired configuration options. A default .mozconfig is created below. To see the entire list of available configuration options (and an abbreviated description of each one), issue ./configure --help. You should review the entire file and comment or uncomment options as necessary. If you would prefer to download the file instead of creating it by typing or cut-and-pasting, you can find it at http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/files/BLFS/svn/xulrunner-1.9.1.2-mozconfig (the file must be installed in the root of the source tree mozilla directory, and named .mozconfig).

cat > .mozconfig << "EOF"
# This file contains the options used in the Xulrunner build. You may
# need to specify additional options for your specific build needs.
# Use the information provided by running './configure --help' to
# help you determine if you need to add any additional options.
# Some additional options can be added by uncommenting the examples
# in this file or adding options by inserting a line containing
# 'ac_add_options --some-option-you-need'.  Be aware that some accepted
# options, such as '--with-system-bz2', do not affect the build.

# specify that we want to build xulrunner
ac_add_options --enable-application=xulrunner

# Create an object directory and specify to build the package in that
# directory. If desired, modify the location of the object directory
# to a directory inside the source tree by removing '../' from the
# line below.
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../xulrunner-build

# Specify the installation prefix. If you would prefer Xulrunner
# installed in a different prefix, modify the line below to fit
# your needs (the config will always be written to /etc/gre.d)
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr

# apply a minimal level of optimization (-O)
ac_add_options --enable-optimize

# These options are used so that the Xulrunner binaries are linked to
# the system-installed copies of the specified libraries instead of
# the source tree code which may not be the most recent versions.
# With the exception of libsqlite3, the libraries are statically linked.

# (Options to use system installed libraries)
# Using the shipped version of libsqlite3 has been reported to cause
# problems with other applications which were using sqlite3.
# Only comment this line if you know exactly what you are doing!
ac_add_options --enable-system-sqlite

# Comment this only if you want to use whatever patched version of cairo
# is in the shipped mozilla tree, together with the system headers.
ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo

# Comment this if you have not installed lcms.
ac_add_options --enable-system-lcms

# Comment this if you did not build libjpeg before GTK+-2.
ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg

# These two options enable support for building Xulrunner with
# system-installed versions of the Network Security Services (NSS)
# and Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) libraries. Comment them if
# you wish to use the included copies (not recommended).
ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
ac_add_options --with-system-nss

# Comment this if you have not built png with the apng patch.
ac_add_options --with-system-png

# The pthreads option is only used when building nspr
# Uncomment this if you build the included nspr.
#ac_add_options --with-pthreads

# zlib is included in LFS. Do not comment this line.
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib

# (Options to disable parts of the package)
# This option is used to disable the a11y support in the Xulrunner
# binaries. Comment out this option if you require a11y support.
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility

# Uncomment this if you did not build curl.
#ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter

# Comment this if you have built dbus-glib.
ac_add_options --disable-dbus

# Comment this if you have gnome-vfs and libgnomeui, and wish to
# integrate xulrunner into your gnome desktop
ac_add_options --disable-gnomevfs

# This option is added so that the Mozilla Installer program is not
# built or installed. The program is not required for a BLFS
# installation of Xulrunner.
ac_add_options --disable-installer

# If you enable javaxpcom, you must have a java compiler installed.
ac_add_options --disable-javaxpcom

# mochitest often causes problems
ac_add_options --disable-mochitest

# This option is added so that test libraries and programs are not
# built. These would only be required for debugging purposes.
ac_add_options --disable-tests

# Disable the updater, which is not appropriate if you build from source
ac_add_options --disable-updater

# (options to add extra parts of the package)
# This option is used to enable source tree included LDAP support in
# the Xulrunner binaries.

If you did not install NSPR-4.8.2 and NSS-3.12.4, then apply the patch with the following command:

patch -Np1 -i ../firefox-3.5.2-provide_system_nss_nspr-1.patch

Compile Xulrunner by issuing the following commands:

sed 's@stable@unstable@' \
    -i xulrunner/installer/mozilla-js.pc.in && 
echo "Requires: nspr" >>xulrunner/installer/libxul-embedding.pc.in &&
make -f client.mk build

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user, install the package:

make -f client.mk install &&
mkdir /usr/lib/mozilla &&
ln -sv /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.2/plugins \
    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins &&
chown -R root:root /usr/lib/xulrunner-* /usr/bin/xulrunner

If you've elected to use the included NSPR and NSS, while still the root user, complete the installation with the following commands:

for DL in \
    libnss3.so libnssutil3.so libsmime3.so libssl3.so libsoftokn3.so \
    libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so
do
    ln -sv xulrunner-1.9.1.2/$DL /usr/lib/$DL
done
