Errors when compiling Thunderbird 11.0.1 under -current

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to compile Thunderbird 11.0.1 under -current using 11.0's SlackBuild-script, but the compiler halts with the following errors:
non_thread_safe.cc

Has anyone been able to compile 11.0.1? Is there some configuration that needs to be changed?

Regards,

Thuderbird is part of stock Slackware. What you are experiencing is likely why it hasn't been uploaded to -current yet... the build changed a little and it takes time to work out the process.

Give it a few days and I'm sure a shiny new Thunderbird will show up on the mirrors.

Seriously, the fast release cycle Mozilla has taken is just making more work for everyone to keep up with.

When you say Firefox, you mean Thunderbird right?

yea, lack of caffeine... ugh... coffee....

True, I really don't see the point of fast release cycles.

Which script? From: mozilla-thunderbird/

Modified or original?

I am building packages for seamonkey firefox and thunderbird myself for a (still private) ARM port, and needed to hunt down patches for several gcc 4.7 related compilation issues, like the one above.

I have a seamonkey 2.8 package compiled on bleeding edge -current now. I applied the same patches to firefox and that is still compiling but looks promising. Those patches are probably required on thunderbird too.

Yes. Original, no modifications.

Mats

You can't. I do not keep them in a public place.

Eric

Ok, I guess I'll have to wait until Pat patches the Thunderbird package in -current

I've found this LFS patch today:
http://www.at.linuxfromscratch.org/p...cc-4.7-1.patch

I'm going to try and compile again...still errors...will investigate further. Thunderbird will compile if you disable crashreporter, but I've yet to figure out how to compile with crashreporter enabled.

These are the three patches which I needed to build searmonkey and firefox. Did not try thunderbird but since they all share the same codebase, the patches will probably fix your issue.

Edit: damn, I can't upload from here, keep getting "invalid file".
Edit2: this is a public URL for a ZIP containing the 3 patches: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2329942/mozilla_patches.zip

With both LFS and Eric's patches applied the compiler still halts when building crashreporter. I will try again with only Eric's...same result...hmm I think the problem lies within Google Breakpad but I'm not sure...

T Bird 11.0.1 is on the mirrors now.
