problem compiling thunderbird in 11.3
 
I have been trying to compile thunderbird on 11.3 as here:
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blf...underbird.html

All dependencies are installed with no errors, this is my mozconfig file:
Code:
# If you have a multicore machine, the build may be faster if using parallel
# jobs. The build system automatically adds -jN to the "make" flags, where N
# is the number of CPU cores. The option below is therefore useless, unless
# you want to use a smaller number of jobs:
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j11"

# If you have installed wireless-tools comment out this line:
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi

# Uncomment these lines if you have installed optional dependencies:
#ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification

# Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
# and uncomment this if you installed alsa-lib instead of PulseAudio
#ac_add_options --enable-alsa


# If you want to compile the Mozilla Calendar, uncomment this line:
#ac_add_options --enable-calendar

# Comment out following options if you have not installed
# recommended dependencies:
ac_add_options --with-system-libevent
ac_add_options --with-system-libvpx
ac_add_options --with-system-nspr
ac_add_options --with-system-nss
ac_add_options --with-system-icu

# The elf-hack causes failed installs on some machines.
# It is supposed to improve startup time and it shrinks libxul.so
# by a few MB - comment this if you know your machine is not affected.
#ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack

# The BLFS editors recommend not changing anything below this line:
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr
ac_add_options --enable-application=comm/mail

ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter
ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols
ac_add_options --disable-tests

ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2
ac_add_options --enable-linker=gold
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --enable-install-strip

ac_add_options --enable-official-branding

ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi
ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman

ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
ac_add_options --with-system-png
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
ac_add_options --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries
Nothing odd there that I can see, this is the error:

*** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"
It dies in the ./mach configure line.
All previous commands are by the book,

Cant find anything on google, I'm stumped! any ideas?

It may be sensitive to nss version. Thunderbird 102.15.0 builds against nss-3.93 here. Just my 2¢.

Nope no change.

bryan_S 09-05-2023 10:30 AM
Obvious, but are you sure you're exporting MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE and MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH variables before running .mach configure? If compiling via a build script maybe they got left out?

Yes as per the blfs page, build script
Code:
...
sed -i '/ROOT_CLIP_CHAIN/d' gfx/webrender_bindings/webrender_ffi.h

export MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE=none
export MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH=./mozbuild
export SHELL=/bin/sh
./mach configure
...
Running in chroot.

A couple of things maybe to check.

Did you update any of the dependencies so they no longer match 11.3 versions? - especially Python; it only went from version 3.11.2 to 3.11.4 in blfs 12 though... Doesn't seem like it would be enough to make a difference.

Also i would try to comment out: mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j11" and see what happens. Maybe too many jobs for that version of T-bird.

Keith Hedger 09-06-2023 06:12 AM
away from my machine for now will check and get back but as this was a fresh install i dont think this is the problem, but i'll see

Emerson 09-06-2023 06:14 AM
^^ Yes good idea, I did not notice that. For troubleshooting -j1 is the best. With more tasks your real error may be way back in the log.

Keith Hedger 09-07-2023 11:01 AM
thx for the replies but i have now fixed this, seems when i updated python bef9re installing thnderbird as per the blfs page i somehow managed to screw up some modules and some bits of python ( pip3 disappeared! ), so i completly removed python3 , nss nspr and sqlite then reinstalled and now its compiling fine, i truly detest python, seems like i have spent more time fixing/finding python modules than anything else since i started using linux.
marking as solved.

bryan_S 09-07-2023 01:11 PM
Yeah, I've noticed if you're using a package manager and try to upgrade/rebuild Python, it won't rebuild pip3 if it's installed - even IF you specify --ensure-pip. So what i do now is remove existing Python first before rebuilding it. Highly annoying.
