I have built and installed glib, gtk+, nspr3, libIDL in a slightly strange directory (/usr/local/experimental); with environment variables it survives "configure --with-nspr=/usr/local/experimental --enable-debug" OK but barfs on the new xpidl stuff, which is apparently hardcoded to assume glib-config and libIDL-config are in my path (which is not true): cd xpidl; make export make[3]: Entering directory `/util/www/mozilla/xpcom/tools/xpidl' Creating .deps make[3]: glib-config: Command not found X5 @X5 @make[3]: libIDL-config: Command not found X5 @X5 @gcc -o xpidl.o -c -Wall -pipe -Wp,-MD,.deps/xpidl.pp -include ../../../config-defs.h -g -fPIC -DDEBUG -UNDEBUG -DDEBUG_roelofs -DTRACING -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.0\" -DSingleSignon -DCookieManagement -DClientWallet -I../../../dist/./include -I../../../dist/include -I../../../include -I/usr/local/experimental/include -I../../../dist/./public/jpeg -I../../../dist/./public/png xpidl.c In file included from xpidl.h:32, from xpidl.c:23: /usr/local/experimental/include/glib.h:66: glibconfig.h: No such file or directory [and many subsequent errors] Here's a patch (configure is already set up correctly): --- Makefile.in.stock Sun Apr 18 11:03:01 1999 +++ Makefile.in Sun Apr 18 12:06:56 1999 @@ -35,15 +35,13 @@ include $(topsrcdir)/config/config.mk -# XXX replace with proper configure test for glib -CFLAGS += $(shell glib-config --cflags) $(shell libIDL-config --cflags) +CFLAGS += $(shell @GLIB_CONFIG@ --cflags) $(shell @LIBIDL_CONFIG@ --cflags) -# seperate out to get dependancies right +# separate out to get dependencies right LIBXPT=$(DIST)/lib/libxpt.a -# XXX need configure test -EX_LIBS = -lIDL -L$(DIST)/bin $(LIBXPT) $(shell glib-config --libs) \ - $(shell libIDL-config --libs) +EX_LIBS = -lIDL -L$(DIST)/bin $(LIBXPT) $(shell @GLIB_CONFIG@ --libs) \ + $(shell @LIBIDL_CONFIG@ --libs) PROGS = $(OBJDIR)/xpidl

Checked in the patch. Thanks!
