Re: Build errors

[Muhammad N. Jassim]

I have been trying to compile the GNU IceCat for the sixth day now, and
faced many of the same errors posted here on the mailing list by others.

Now trying to compile the newer source, as follows here:
pkgname=icecat
_pkgver=3-g1
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${_pkgver}/
  [ -f "${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${_pkgver}/.mozconfig" ] && sed -i
's|--prefix=/usr/local|--prefix=/usr|'
${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${_pkgver}/.mozconfig
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make

and the following error:
(...)

Any help would be appreciated.

For later, I would love to know how can one change the name of the
software, for another project. Is it all in browser/branding/unofficial
like in the error above? Or are there more changes to certain files too?
