Hey everyone,

This afternoon, I made a stab at getting Epiphany, the new GNOME browser
to work. Unfortunately, I've hit a snag, and I really don't have the
energy to debug mozilla. Perhaps someone with more experience hacking
mozilla can finish the job. 

Also, it would be really helpful if we could have a separate pkgsrc
package for gtk2 mozilla-stable. I'll send-pr regarding this.

Anyhow, here's how you can build Epiphany: it worked for me on 1.6ZG
(note that vanilla mozilla and co work fine, so I don't think I'm
encountering the recent alleged pthread bug).

First, patch www/mozilla/Makefile.common as follows:

Make and install www/mozilla-stable, bieng sure to define 
MOZILLA_USE_XFT=YES and MOZILLA_USE_GTK2=YES. You will get PLIST
errors, as MOZILLA_USE_GTK2 changes it, and I haven't bothered
to fix this.

Then:

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/mozilla-stable/work/mozilla/build/unix/
# perl -i.orig -wpe 's/mozilla-1.4.1/mozilla-stable/g' moz*.pc 
# cp moz*.pc /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig

Download http://bjan.freeshell.org/nb/moz.tgz. Unpack it in
pkgsrc/wip. Build and install.

You should now be able to run Epiphany, but I doubt it. It will die with
a pretty GNOME crash dialog and the following backtrace:

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

Note that the TRAP is not a breakpoint that I set up - it happens of it's 
own accord.

Ho Ho Ho,
