Because Firefox 3 does not install this file and *.pc (pkg-config files) anymore. Everytime when I have tried to search for answer and reason why they changed it. I end up hit the wall. Perhaps, they asked in the wrong place. Also it's hard to find a good keyword to search in google (Mozilla is using google search for their website/newsgroups). If you can find it, I would love to know about it. Everything what jong357 (forum user) knows are same what I know in our search, but he has pointed that there is answer in mailing list that I can't find. http://forums-test.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=3559635 I have told my team about that somehow I think that Mozilla developers want us to start to use xulrunner for SDK/build stuff rather than on Firefox, Seamonkey and etc. I think that xulrunner 1.9 does install *.pc files and probably xulrunner-config too. -- While I am here, our firefox3 port still need some improvements such as don't use lib/browser_plugins anymore, because firefox3 can't use firefox2 plugins or it crashes. I am thinking about maybe use www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi. Then create new directories like lib/npapi/symlinks/gecko18 and lib/npapi/symlinks/lib/gecko19. Other more improvements like clean up in bsd.gecko.mk and gecko ports. I am slowing and lacking motivative, because I dislike any Mozilla products and my box is slow for build/install test. I am being patient to work with these, so I would love someone (that actually like Mozilla product and have motivative) to jump in and take over. ;-) Cheers, Mezz > Thanks, > Naram Qashat -- mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
