rpms for thunderbird

ras123 · 05-12-2004, 01:11 PM

Hi,
I would like to install Mozilla after compiling to rpm ( for athlon), so where from I can download the source, and can I compile it by using
rpmbuild -ta <tarball>
Thanking You,

You can download the tar file from http://www.mozilla.org/

I have never built an RPM, so I'll leave that for someone else to answer.

I download mozilla*.tar.gz file, but I can't compile it into a rpm file.

Are you trying to install Mozilla the web browser or Thunderbird the e-mail client?

sorry,
I needs both in rpms, ie mozilla and thunderbird, and I also try compile thunderbird-0.6-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz to rpm but that also failed

Thunderbird you should not have to compile just untar it and make a application launcher to the file thunderbird and it should run

Couple of questions

Are you sure that you want Mozilla And Thunderbird ? perhaps you mean Firefox and Thunderbird ?

If you downloaded any of the above as a tar.gz file to install all you have to do is unpack the file into your chosen directory, normally /usr/local, then fire the application up

You don't need to compile it, just run it
