22653 - FreeBSD M12 binary non-working

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[kiel]

Please direct this to the best person:  The FreeBSD binary in the M12 release
area can not be run, because it is linked to some libraries that aren't in the
distribution or on most systems (libintl.so).  If it isn't presumptuous to think
other people probably can't get it to work either because of this, in the url is
a package that works fine on all of my systems.

If there is a special way to package releases, let me know (or fix this or
however).  I will attach some build and install hints as well if someone might
find them useful.

I did the binary build here on my 3.2 release box.
Which ran fine on two other 3.3 release boxes.
In fact yesterday i ran it on a freshly installed 3.3 box with no mozilla
sources just gtk and glib.

When things stablize a little more these packages will improve and we will
hopefully get a port up and running to build from source. Because as it stands
right now there is one patch i am using to build the source on 3.x versions to
work around the dll loader prob.

Thanks for all the feedback and help.

It's dependent on installing the info files distribution for some reason though.
Kinda goofy.

Is this still an issue? Or can this bug be closed as a non-issue?

Comment 8

It's still a problem as of the M15 release.  The binary is dependant on 
installing the optional and unrelated info files distribution.

Works for me:
FreeBSD-current
nightly source tarballs and CVS pulls

This bug is really old, shouldn't it get cleared out because it really isn't useful?

May be marked FIXED as there're now recent (0.9.4) binary FreeBSD releases.
However, similar "recent" bugs exist: see bug 92400.

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

reporter: are you still seeing this with a recent version of mozilla?

Comment 13

[clkao]

ldd mozilla-bin shows it doesn't link to libintl. and recent freebsd binaries
work fine. maybe this dated bug could be closed.
