Re: Building GNU IceCat and Xulrunner

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Ludovic,

after I do make install I get a bin/icecat symbolic link to the proper
shell script under lib/icecat-version/.

By default there is already a .mozconfig file so you can build and
install it in the usual way: ./configure && make && make install.

I never tried to build libxul before and after use it for IceCat.  If it
is causing troubles I will take a deeper look.

How do you build it?

Regards,
Giuseppe
