Error while building firefox!
Sorry, no package to install.



Expected results:

should have built with no errors

glandium: could you please triage? I recall you fixing an fPIC bug lately that you didn't think anyone was hitting. This may be related.

Comment 2

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

Somehow this is trying to link a system static library for cairo, and that static library is not built as PIC. Seems like there's something wrong in your build environment (there should be a shared library for system cairo) and/or the build script used for the Firefox Ubuntu package.

If you can reproduce by taking the plain sources for Firefox 53.0.3 and building them with the Mozilla instructions (i.e. not using the Ubuntu build scripts), please reopen this bug.
