Thanx, i'll try. Is this somewhere in the documentation, i didn't found=20
anything (mentioning it in DESCR would be *nice*)
I did a
make MOZ_PLATFORM=3D"linux" install
which correctly REQUIREd the linux libraries but still used the netbsd=20
binaries tarball, so obviously i just tried the wrong approach...
After sending the first mail, i just did a "make patch", exchanged=20
work/firefox and then continued with installing; so i already managed to=20
get a working mozilla/firebird/firefox or whatever they call it this=20
week :-)
But i'm really not getting it. Why aren't there actually TWO packages, so=20
one could install BOTH versions? For example, if i'll write a new plugin,=20
it would be better to use the native version instead of cross-compiling,=20
while i'd still be able to browse flash-pages with the linux version.
