[gNewSense-users] Compiling icecat 3.5.7 on Lemote Yeeloong mips metad

[Niklas Cholmkvist]

Hi,

I downloaded the icecat source from:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/3.5.7/icecat-3.5.7.tar.bz2 . (would it
be better if I had downloaded a .deb source package from anywhere?)

I've looked at a similar thread at the gnewsense-dev mailing list called
"RE: compiling icecat on
mips"(http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg00579.html) and followed 
some instructions from there, downloading dependencies for the compiling 
procedure. I also downloaded the patch xulrunner-mips-n32.patch and put it in 
the "source root" 
directory(/home/myusername/src/icecat-3.5.7./xulrunner-mips-n32.patch).
Maybe I should have done anything else with the file? I didn't know so
that's where I put it.

I got some errors before the "make" compiling procedure ended:
