Mozilla crashes on Leopard

[marco.falconi@…]

when I try to build mozilla I get the following error message:

I have an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.5.2. Is there anyone that can help me solve the problem? (and maybe explaining me what the problem actually is because I can't understand a thing in this error message...)

Thank you!

Looks the same as with nspr in #12877.

[jmr@…]

Well, I fixed that error in r34975, but it seems there's still work to be done. Now I get this:

yes now i get this error too... i saw that someone installing firefox on fink got the same error and solved it modifying the .mozconfig file: well this file doesn't even exist in the ports installation (even if the client.mk file appearently defines the pattern where searches such file, but I'm a novice of unix so I can't understand so much...), I tried to create it as described for fink compilation and I put it in the mozilla folder of macports but nothing changes: maybe client.mk couldn't find it? I hope someone can help... Thanks.

[jmr@…]

I found the thread you're referring to (though a link would have been handy!) We don't use a .mozconfig, all the options are specified in the configure.args in the Portfile. Looks like it should be an easy fix (knock on wood…)

[marco.falconi@…]

Thank you very much for the help, I'll be waiting for the fixing to be done (in Italy we touch our family jewels instead of wood, but the meaning is quite the same...)

[jmr@…]

The build succeeds as of r35022, but mozilla crashes at launch. I don't know if it's worth spending much more time on this.

[marco.falconi@…]

I hoped galeon, that depends on mozilla, wouldn't crash, but it also does... when I try to launch it, it simply says "Segmentation fault"...

[jmr@…]

Well, if it's Galeon you want, there are other avenues that could be pursued. It can be built against Firefox (a port which does work on Leopard) or Seamonkey, for example.

[marco.falconi@…]

can you explain me exactly how? what does it mean "build it against firefox or seamonkey"? thanks...

[jmr@…]

There's now a working port of seamonkey 1.1.9, and I'm working on getting galeon to build against it.

[marco.falconi@…]

thank you, i'll be waiting for that....

[marco.falconi@…]

I tried the new galeon port you have done, galeon builds but in configuring i get the following error:

checking which mozilla engine to use... firefox
checking for XPCOM_COMPONENT... configure: error: Package requirements (firefox-xpcom >= 1.0) were not met:

Package nspr was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nspr.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'nspr', required by 'XPCOM', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XPCOM_COMPONENT_CFLAGS
and XPCOM_COMPONENT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

how can I solve it?

Thanks

I just did a sudo port install mozilla on my iBook on 10.5.4 with only the error that it said I needed to do a force with a -f flag to activate it. and that worked. (I did this since I couldn't get seamonkey to compile on same).

entering mozilla -mail worked.. it forwarded the x11 to me 10 miles away {}.

So maybe the crashing is fixed on Leopard 10.5.4.
