Compiling Seamonkey snapshot from June 7th

After I got the source, I compiled it:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/seamonkey-jun7 --disable-jsd --disable-oji --disable-tests --disable-debug --enable-optimize --without-system-nspr --with-pthreads --without-system-zlib --with-system-jpeg=/usr/local --with-system-png=/usr/local --without-system-mng --enable-crypto --disable-universalchardet --disable-negotiateauth --disable-webservices --disable-logging --disable-gnomevfs --disable-gnomeui --enable-extensions=cookie,wallet,typeaheadfind --enable-strip --disable-installer --disable-composer --disable-xprint --disable-printing --disable-ldap --disable-mailnews --disable-freetype2 --enable-xft --disable-shared --enable-static --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-application=suite

ran make and it failed with the following error:

that clearly was due to ld missing the libc.so library when creating this binary. so I replaced:


OS_LIBS = -lm
with
OS_LIBS = -lm -lc

in config/autoconf.mk

after that the installation finished ok.

However, when I tried running it, it started segfaulting and dumping cores on me. I tried getting a backtrace to see what the problem was:

$ /usr/local/seamonkey-jun7/bin/seamonkey -g

So, it seems like the problem is somewhere in the browser code which uses pthreads. I went back to my old browser. Will try compiling seamonkey another time.
