Firefox fails to compile on -current

I'm using the slackware64 current slackbuild to build a new firefox for -current 32 (I like dynamically linked cairo for fonts). But I am getting a compile error...

Can anyone else confirm this?

Yep. Had the problem. Found this patch. :)

That did it, Thanks :)

FYI, check the current changelog.........new kernel, samba and FF.

I just got the same error with thunderbird, lol. I'm searching for a patch now...

SeaMonkey requires the same patch, just the path to the files is
slightly different. The whole mess is under a leading mozilla/ directory.

Seems likely that the Thunderbird patch would be similar.

Are you trying to build Thunderbird 3 ?

(Ignore that question. Has to be 3)

Edit: looks like its going to need the same fix as SeaMonkey.
I've attached this untested patch, in case you're interested.
I'd guess it has a pretty good chance of success.

worked again, thanks dude.

I'm trying to build Seamonkey, how do I use your patch?

I was trying to build seamonkey and it blew up in the same place. How do I apply your patch? Thanks.
