Some of your questions are answered in file 'configure.in'. |
| 24 |
--enable-application=APP |
| 25 |
Options include: |
| 26 |
browser (Firefox) |
| 27 |
xulrunner |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I'm confused about that xulrunner flag because I set it to 'browser' in |
| 30 |
my own firefox builds, and so do the binary builds from mozilla. Do you |
| 31 |
have the xulrunner USE flag set? |

If you referring to a USE flag, I don't see it anywhere. Must be obsolete. |

Do you have the 'debug' USE flag set? |

You need to pick either that one or cairo-qt if you are building on linux. |

Open JVM Integration: it enables support for the java plugin named |
| 56 |
libjavaplugin_oji.so |

Add "ac_add_options --disable-mathml" to your .mozconfig file. |

'storage' is the mozilla wrapper for SQLite, but configure.in doesn't |
| 69 |
eplain what that means. I don't see where '--disable-storage' is even |
| 70 |
defined, but you can always try it and see what happens. |

|
| 76 |
I notice that my own firefox builds do compile the code for ogg support, |
| 77 |
but I have no idea what it does or if it works correctly. |
