Enough is enough

I’ve ditched Ubuntu’s version of Thunderbird and using the version from Mozilla now. For some mysterious reason 2.0.0.17 on Ubuntu occasionally forgets that I have a calendar and puts out numerous error messages concerning Lightning addon. Mozilla’s version doesn’t do that even if I use the exact same profile folder. Might give it another try when Ubuntu packages next version.

mozilla/layout/build/Makefile.in change:

ifdef MOZ_ENABLE_GTK2
EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS += $(MOZ_GTK2_LIBS)
-lX11 -lXrender
$(NULL)
endif

Commands:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout
LANG=C make -f client.mk build

It’s also good to check tinderboxes of locales!
