520928 - Install Fennec & XULRunner to /opt

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

The debian installer needs to install to the /opt folder, not the /usr folder.

Ben - Are you working on this?

Comment 3

[Ben Combee (:bcombee)]

What I've done is in two parts:

1) modify local mozconfig to specify /opt as prefix instead of /usr/local
2) modify fennec build files to do correct substituion from configure variables instead of hardcoding /usr/local/fennec

I didn't have this correctly working on Friday, and have been doing patch review this week.

[Ben Combee (:bcombee)]

These two patches fix some hardcoded directory patch depth assumptions that prevented using these lines in mozconfig

# locations for xulrunner/fennec for Maemo
ac_add_options --prefix=/opt
ac_add_options --libdir=/opt

The fennec patch also changes some hardcoded paths to instead be set from those variables.  There's also some dependencies that are updated for correctness.

a192? needed for this XULRunner patch. It's Fennec/Maemo only.

Needs mozconfig changes in bug 524751

Comment 11

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

I had to run fennec by going through terminal with the following command on the n900: /opt/xulrunner*/xulrunner /opt/fennec*/fennec/application.ini

...and I was able to run Fennec with no issue on trunk via the n810 as well.

So, it's working on builds:
