Title: Help compile minimo
Post by: CoreyC on April 16, 2004, 08:52:09 pm

Many people want minimo, and I\'ve been trying for quite a few hours to compile it for pdaXrom.  Unfortunately I don\'t have a clue what I am doing and need some serious help from you guys.  I\'ve gotten as far as my limit knowledge of linux will allow me.

I have the pdaXrom sdk installed from pdaxrom.org

here are a couple of good links, you\'ll want to read through them:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/bui...uild-cross.html (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build-cross.html)
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build.html)

These are the steps I have figured out.  I\'m going to need some help getting any further.

Grab the latest mozillasource from the cvs as explained here:
http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html (http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html)

Then from the directory your mozilla dir is in:

cp mozilla/embedding/minimo/mozconfig mozilla/  (very important)

You need to install this to your linux box:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/bui...-cross.html#pkg (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/build-cross.html#pkg)

Just do what it says, then

export PKG_CONFIG=/opt/toolchain/arm-linux/local/bin/pkg-config

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/arm/3.3.2/arm5tel-cacko-linux/lib/pkgconfig

The configure command:

./configure --host=armv5tel-cacko-linux --build=i686-linux --x-includes=/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/lib --disable-debug --prefix=/usr/local  --without-libIDL --disable-mailnews --enable-optimize

There error I am getting is:

Code: [Select]

configure: error:  Could not find the following X libraries:  -lX11 -lXext -lXt

I don\'t have a clue where to go from here...

ok.. well, I am currently rebuilding xfree86 for the includes and lib files.  Maybe there is something in there that the configure script is looking for that isn\'t part of the pdaXrom sdk.

still looking for some help here...

Did you change the settings in mozconfig? I had to change the LIBS= line from

Code: [Select]

LIBS= -lsupc++ to

Code: [Select]

LIBS= -lsupc++ -L/opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXt -lXext.

Did you use embedding/minimo/mozconfig or embedding/minimo/mozconfig-arm?

I used mozconfig.

Thanks for the tips, about to try it out.

is that an old[er] build? does it even work on the zaurus?

AFAIK that arm binary (on mallum\'s site) wsa compiled for a different version of glibc

pmf: I\'m still getting the same error while running configure.  Were you able to get it to run without any errors?  If so, can you post your mozconfig file and paste the flags you used with the configure script?

obs1 is correct.  I tried it yesterday, different glibc

Come\'on ya\'ll.. I\'m not gonna let this thread die

Update:  I started working on this again this week and have had some success, though I made some human errors during the compile and am having to start over.

The good news is, even with my errors the binaries that make spit out for me worked.  I was pretty much useless though (no scroll bars, ssl, ftp, etc...)  Google looked good

Mozilla isn\'t exactly a quick build.  The last make process took almost 24 hours.  I\'m doing the compiling on my zaurus, not exactly the ideal hardware for the job.  I broke pdaxrom in the process, which was a let down because I had it running exactly as I wanted it.

Unless something goes very wrong expect a minimo ipk by the end of the weekend.

philo,

No, minimo is a stripped down version of the Mozilla web browser.

Minimo is much more lightweight than firefox, and shouldn\'t take 30 seconds to load.

sashz: That works, thank you.

I\'m going to finish my build of the source and try to find a few tweaks.  I believe there is a way to rebuild TestGtkEmbed to disable popups.  If not, I know javascript can be diabled to avoid them.

look config files in /usr/lib/minimo/Embed/defaults/pref/*
