>Description:
I have BUILD_SVG=yes
in mk.conf.
firefox, as of Mon Feb 6 2006 CVS state builds, but
when the menu item "help->about" is selected, the popup displays:
XML Parsing Error: error in processing external entity reference
Location: chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.xul
Line Number 9, Column 1:%brandDTD;
^
the %brandDTD makes me suspect this relates to the changes to enable firefox
branding rather than deer park.
However, when I visit www.nosuchdomain.org I also get
XML Parsing Error: error in processing external entity reference
Location: jar:file:///usr/pkg/lib/firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/netError.xhtml
Line Number 10, Column 3: %netErrorDTD;
--^
>How-To-Repeat:
make firefox with svg enabled.
>Fix:
I have NFI. :-) this is a very complicated dependency chain. its
ok for a lot of things, SVG works on all the mozilla test cases,
but something internal is a bit borked here.
could be anything in its XML libraries, you-name-it.
