I was just going to post a message regarding this package (wip/firefox2); how serendipitous, heh. I've tried to build firefox2 on NetBSD/amd64 before and have had problems with it complaining about needing -fPIC. Problem is, that option was already specified. It just occurred to me now that on amd64, gcc 3.4 is needed to build www/firefox. Is this the case for firefox2 as well? If so, and if you are going to import the package from wip, I believe this may be required. Cheers, --Blair On 10/17/06, Geert Hendrickx <ghen%netbsd.org@localhost> wrote:

In that case, I could import firefox2-2.0rc3 now already, to allow broader
testing.
I presume I should make it install as "firefox2", i.e. not-conflicting with
firefox-1.5.0.7 (the pkgsrc-wip package already does this). However I'm
not sure the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory will be compatible between those.
