Custom Build Question driver/firefox 3 TS 2.2.2

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Okay so after reading the forums here I've decided to try a custom build.

I've downloaded and installed ubuntu, and added the developers tools for compiling.

I downloaded the TS 2.2.2 source from source forge.

I download the firefox 3 contrib package (put in my build home directory) and then did tar xvfz

I downloaded the R8108 contrib package (put in my build home directory) and then did a tar xvfz

and i downloaded the msttcorefonts contrib package (put in my build home directory) and then did a tar xvfz and then i ran the install.sh file.

Everything seemed to go okay.

This is basically everything i needed in my build. Firefox 3 some nicer fonts and this Ethernet card driver.

I added the firefox package to my build.conf as well as the url param

I added module r8108 to my build.conf

Then i went to the directory and typed in sudo ./build ... it said it was compiling the image and it starts listing off the drivers but then it gives an error of missing destination file operand after "./tmp-tree/lib/modules/r8108.ko' Try Cp-help

It stalls for a second and then continues.

and at the very end of it it also says 1097 cant open .tmp-tree/packages/firefoxurl.param

Now im new to linux but i have read a lot of posts on nabble as well as on other sites, and help would be greatly appreciated.

r8108? There is no such driver. Anyway - check out the path is correct:

tar ftz xxx.tar.gz (just shows the files and paths - no uncompression)

It must refer to kernel/modules-2.6.16.5/kernel/drivers/net/
If it refers to kernel/modules-2.6.15.1/kernel/drivers/net/ then move it.

OK, but then the driver is r8101.ko - not r8108. Fix it in build.conf. And, yes the path is screwed up: move the driver:

To remove the FF 2.x setup:

The untar the downloaded FF 3.x package (again) and rebuild.

Moving the driver fixed it!

I also did as you said and removed the firefox 2 package first and it worked perfectly.

I wanted to mention just in case anyone else has this issue. When I tried my build the first time around i had used the firefox that came with it. Then I decided to remove it and add firefox 3 and i was getting a firefoxurl param no such file or directory exists. To fix it I made a new folder put the build environment in there started over and removed firefox 2 from the start instead of trying to build with it.

Anyways i'm going to go officially test it in a moment, but i got through the build thanks for your help.

I take it back I am still have issues with Firefox 3.

I don't understand I'm following the instructions exactly as they are explained. I've removed the firefox package that came bundled with 2.2.2. I've tarred the new contrib package. I've changed the url to firefox3url and im still getting this error message.

./build: line 507: ./tmp-tree/packages/firefoxurl.param: No such file or directory

firefox url param not set in build.conf build aborted.

Now I can see that it's going for the old url but i dont understand why. Is there some place where i can change this? What shall i do next?

Could this be a dash/bash problem i am on a newer version of ubuntu

Thank you,

Fred

It is saying that you do NOT have a line
param firefoxurl <url to your firefox package>
in your build.conf

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

Thank you for your response.

I realize that. However, I have removed the FF2 directory. packages/firefox

I tared the firefox 3 package i got from sourceforge for 2.2

It says to replace that url with firefox3url instead of firefoxurl. If i change it back it will download and fail somewhere else in the install.

I looked at the install file in the packages/firefox/lib/install and it points to a directory name which would be firefox not firefox 3... If i change the directory to firefox3 it will install and fail when it tries to tar it after the download.

Maybe I'm way off but im starting to think there is something wrong with this contrib package

IT is because the doc is broken. It claims the the url is named
firefox3url, which is wrong - remove the "3".

Then it builds. However I cannot make FF3 to run for obvious reasons:
the file packages/bin/firefox i zero bytes and points to nothing. I
think this package is broken.

Please check that sh points to bash:
ls -al /bin/sh

Then:
rm -rf packages/firefox
tar xvfz firefox3_TS-2.2.tar.gz
edit build.conf to include:
param firefoxurl
http://thinstation.org/download/2.4/firefox-3.x-current.tar.bz2
and run ./build

This should install cleanly (it does here). However it is still broken IMHO.

A bit of progress:
packages/firefox/bin:
rm firefox
ln -s /lib/firefox/firefox firefox

Get the prism package and steal the file libjemalloc.so and place it
in packages/firefox/lib

With this firefox3 can be started for the command prompt but not via
the icon. I think firefox.init is broken, bur don't know for sure yet.

Who contributed FF3? We could need a bit of help ;-)

Hmmm, is it a later version of 3 than when this was originally released
(3.5 maybe...)??

I'm pretty sure there was a huge jump in dependencies between 3.0 & 3.5.

Hello,

I contributed FF3, in my config FF3 start at the boot not from a icons.

The FF3.5 do not work with Thinstation because there are dependencies
with dbus, and more... not available.

Best regards.

I'm pretty sure there was a huge jump in dependencies between 3.0 & 3.5.

You are right, with the 3.5 there is a dep with alsa (found in TS 2.4), but also with dbus... (not in any TS), and probably more.
