50293 - libgtk required to use M17

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Documentation Graveyard :: Help Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.74 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u)
BuildID:    

mozilla M17 doesn't run on my Solaris 2.7 box.  It says it can't find libgtk.  I
tried building libgtk myself, last week but never succeeded.  Why isn't libgtk
included in the M17 package?  You included libjpeg and libzlib, just not libgtk.
If you're not going to include it, you should list it explicitly as a
prerequisite, since it's not normally included with Solaris.

If I recalled correctly, the gtk library was left out from the tarball
for quite some time already.  I've heard of different reasons for not
delivering the library, but...  You are correct that the libary is not
normally included in Solaris, but you can probably get an older
version of gtk from sunfreeware.com.

I don't see this mentioned in any release notes if it was put in them.

M17 is too old to worry about this
