Very Computer

I have tried to compile the last version of
Mozilla under solaris 2.7 and I'm facing several problems
sorry one big problem
I have use the configure without the test and debug
and It's impossible to compile the LDAP library
does any one face the same problem ???

thank you in advance

Pierre

I'd forget about compiling Mozilla; it's a monster to compile!  :-)
Better download the "Nightly Builds" binary. The Solaris
version should work on Solaris 2.6 and up (Sparc).

Actually, they also have Solaris_x86 binaries.

The following worked for me on a S8 box. Hope that helps,

I don't think it works on Solaris 2.6. Mozilla 1.x needs the POSIX.1b
Realtime Extensions library (man {librt|libposix4} ) and it is not
installed under 2.6 as far as I know.

The _binary package_ probably needs it, because it's compiled on
Solaris 7. Mozilla itself doesn't. My custom build, compiled on 2.6
with the latest Sun compilers, runs fine on Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8
(9 not tested, but likely to work). I can distribute it if there's
interest.
