Re: Building GNU IceCat and Xulrunner

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Ludovic,

I see there is something broken in the build system and I'll need to
take a look at it so sorry me too for the dirty solution I'll show you
but at least you can have something working until a better solution will
come :-) 
What do you think about build xulrunner and after build the browser
without specify the xul library to use?  The additional cost is that
libxul will be build twice.

Regards,
Giuseppe
