Trying to upgrade Firefox to version 2.0.0.8, compile errors as follows. [SOLVED]


Code:
../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::Destroy()':
nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:(.text+0x2045): undefined reference to `XFreePixmap'
../../dist/lib/libgkconcvs_s.a(nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.o): In function `nsCanvasRenderingContext2D::SetDimensions(int, int)':
nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:(.text+0x5ec8): undefined reference to `XRenderFindStandardFormat'
nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:(.text+0x5eeb): undefined reference to `XListPixmapFormats'
nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:(.text+0x5f26): undefined reference to `XFree'
nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp:(.text+0x5f70): undefined reference to `XCreatePixmap'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The solution is found in the firefox section in the BLFS (SVN) book, rather:

Code:
cat >> layout/build/Makefile.in << "EOF"
ifdef MOZ_ENABLE_CANVAS
EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS += $(XLDFLAGS) -lX11 -lXrender
endif
EOF
I thought the above command was specific for the version they were covering. But I guess it wasn't.

Ah frick, the answer was right in front of me in the BLFS Firefox-2.0.0.6 section. I must suck at reading.

I know I am not a moderator but please can you not remove your questions just because you have found the answer.
Someone else may be stuck with the same error, and your post could well be the nearest thing they find to a solution, so it would be really really nice if you please leave the original question in tact and instead perhaps add a note to say how you fixed it.

Many thanks,

Noted, and re-edited my previous post to included the error msg + the solution (it was really just my stupidity).
