Re: pkg/52052 (Firefox 51 will not compile on NetBSD-7.1RC2 Virtual Machine)



Hi,

I submitted the PR.

1)I also have problems running blender, which seem to be graphics related. It looks to me that without virtual box additions, virtualbox machines don't have powerful enough graphics to run Blender. If I'm right, that might mean that the FPU doesn't work properly.

2)I've bumped up the amount of ram to 4 gigs for the VM. I can try running the build again but not until later this evening, Alaska time (on my way to bed, basically -so it runs overnight).

Thanks for your help, let me know if there's anything else I can do.

  FWIW, likely problems may be:
-- FPU not working as on real hardware (but unlikely with a good
  emulator)
  -- running out of memory (dmesg will say "...out of swap, killed")
  this seems very likely with a huge C++ program, MAKE_JOBS=5, and 2GB
  RAM.
