Sorry, I went after the wrong eclass. Apparently www-client/firefox |
| 14 |
compiles just a shell of an application ("front-end", mostly written |
| 15 |
in XUL and JS?) when the real stuff is in net-libs/xulrunner. And |
| 16 |
xulrunner's ebuilds use mozconfig-3.eclass instead. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Another thing I noticed about mozilla's build system is that one |
| 19 |
*must* remove the enabling from the eclass(es) due to the way |
| 20 |
mozilla's configure checks for these settings. If you have both |
| 21 |
--enable-pango and --disable-pango in .mozconfig then enable will |
| 22 |
override. And since Gentoo moz* eclasses will automatically force |
| 23 |
several enabling lines into .mozconfig, it's useless to add |
| 24 |
--disable-foo later on (e.g., in the ebuild). The change has to be |
| 25 |
made in the eclass(es). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thus equipped, I copied both mozconfig-3.eclass and |
| 28 |
mozcoreconf-2.eclass over to a local overlay, modified their hardcoded |
| 29 |
--enable-pango statements into --disable-pango's, re-emerged both |
| 30 |
packages (xulrunner, firefox), and now about:buildconfig shows among |
| 31 |
other things: |

--with-system-zlib --disable-updater --disable-pango --disable-svg |
| 38 |
--enable-system-cairo --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs |

There it is, --disable-pango. Unfortunately by now I have already |
| 43 |
forgotten why I was even removing pango in the first place, so I think |
| 44 |
I'll re-enable it. I'd rather see if there are some ricing |
| 45 |
opportunities^W^Wcompiler optimization switches that can be toggled to |
| 46 |
make this sluggish browser faster. |
