One final hoo-rah for 1_8_BRANCH (?)

Lately, I've been doing some Mozilla work inside Haiku.

The dependencies(autoconf-2.13, glib-1.2, and libIDL-0.6) have been ironed out. I even made a script to download, patch, build, and install them.

Eventually, the script will be posted somewhere and the portlogs for the dependencies will be added to HaikuPorts

tqh's cross-compiling patch has been improved to allow native compiling inside Haiku with gcc2.
The updated patch : Bug: 418487

So at this point, fairly vanilla versions build and run in Haiku.

My goal is to build some very nice packages for use with R1/Alpha1 , which includes:
-Built with Haiku's native gcc (currently gcc2)
-tqh's NSPR : Bug: 300595
-native color fixes : Bug: 475050
-native binary launching : Bug: 425962

Any idea where the patch for the launch-kill fix is ?
edit: launch-kill fix is Bug: 44633

edit: since this build won't be able to use trademarks, should i include tigerdog's HaikuFox
or Franxico's Haiku 404
Are there any other patches that could be included?
-apprunner-beos.rsrc for Sunbird :Bug: 423359

I have some changes to event-handling that are great, but something is still a bit problematic as tigerdog couldn't get it to work..

That'd be very nice :)
Everything is good when it finishes good. Like every american movie lol
I thought nobody cared about my 404 ;)

BTW, is GGC4 changed your lives towards FF 3?

You're welcome to use HaikuFox. It's not perfect but visually it's much closer to Stippi's visuals than the default theme. And, native color fix won't matter so much since HaikuFox overrides every default I could find. :)

BTW, writing this with your experimental build under Walter 29246.

re: gcc4+ff3
No. I'm not touching this for a while still.
Even though there has been reports of Cairo compiling for Haiku, it still does not pass many of its tests.
On top of that, Mozilla's build system changes its behavior when using a >=gcc4.2, which includes Haiku's gcc4.3.3. Something involving pragmas and a hidden visibility for system headers.

re: haikufox+native color fixes
For now, my only color fix is replacing the hideous blue menu selection color with the typical Haiku grey.

As for HaikuFox, i *might* try making a new theme to match stippi's new UI.
