Title: Firefox and OZ 3.5.1
Post by: tiptone on October 01, 2004, 03:37:36 pm

anybody manage to get firefox running under an OZ 3.5.1 release image?

first it appears that minimo needs to be added to the list of depends for firefox?  after `ipkg install firefox -d sd' and trying to run firefox i got an error message the the mozilla runtime couldn't be found.  so i installed minimo `ipkg install minimo -d sd' and that fixed that error message, but led to another one.

seems like the SD install of both of those packages should have symlinked /mnt/card/usr/lib/firefox-blah to /usr/lib/firefox-blah (and same thing for minimo) but that's not my problem because i made those two by hand.  when i launch firefox (or at least try to) i get the following error:

run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3/firefox-bin.

which makes sense because there is no firefox-bin in /usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3/ or anywhere else on the system for that matter.  that dir is really just a symlink to /mnt/card/usr/lib/firefox-0.9.3 anyway.  did someone forget to put the binary into the package maybe?

The firefox ipk in the feed appears to be broken, it works fine if you build your own from openembedded.

two quick questions.  How did you get rid of all the detrious after the install from the feed (that I obviously did too)?  

Second question.  since I don't have the time, ability (yet), or  machine set up to cross-compile (again, yet), when does anyone think there will  be a "good" ipk of firefox on the feed?

Before I try installing the firefox ipk in the feed:
1. Firefox or Konqueror? I have used Konqueror and it works fine for me- is firefox better?
2. Has the ipk on the feed been fixed?

Thanks
Simon

I believe firefox will only function if you are running GPE - it won't work with Opie.

Correct. Firefox is a X application. OZ 3.5.2 will have split feeds.

OK thanks- I'll stick with Konqueror for now.
When is 3.5.2 (or maybe even a 3.6? ) likely to be released?

We are still a couple of releases away from 3.6 (see our todo list in the wiki). 3.5.2 will be out very soon, probably just a couple of days ago, but one never knows
