    I know this has been done successfully, but there are a few special tricks to make it work. ; I was hoping someone could point me to a "Read this first"; link to get started.  Many thanks,

I'm not aware of anything out there (actually, only the book
should
be required), but you may want to look at the Trac ticket
for the
Firefox update to see if there's anything helpful:
htt
p://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2218

My apologies for the Firefox build not being updated in the
BLFS book
as of yet. We are all real busy. If Dan (assigned to the
ticket) can't
get to Firefox and Thunderbird updates by the end of the
week, I'll
reassign them to myself and do the updates.

You can pretty much follow the BLFS instructions.
You don't need the two patches, but you need the sed
statement and
this extra sed:
sed -i "sEXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS += $(MOZ_GTK2_LIBS)&
-L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lXrender -lX11" layout/build/Makefile.in

Everything else can stay the same (of course replace 1.5.xxx
with 2.0.xxx).

 But who builds X in /usr/X11R6/lib these days?  Certainly,
I use
something similar to this (-L/usr/lib), but with X in /usr
I'm not
convinced if I really need it ;)

Which Xorg version are you using? For any of the 7.x versions, that file
is provided by the libXft package - not sure where it is on the older
monolithic versions (6.9
 and earlier). Either way though, I'm surprised
you were able to build all the dependencies without it - particularly
Gtk+ and Pango...

    did you do --enable-default-toolkit=gtk ??.That also brought up lots of error for me.
for me, the configure script could find out the right files without the option,but not if i passed it a default toolkit options.

    hi,
i build firefox yesterday,and had to turn off --enable-canvas to build without problems.
with the --enable-canvas option on i got some errors like x-headers not found(even though i passed in the --with-x-includes and --with-x-lib).

and follow the blfs book so far as the .mozconfig file goes.I tried setting up the options directly in .configure to my woe .
also remember to put in --with-qt-dir in .mozconfig(it'll work without it but the menu bar due to the default GTK is'nt that good looking).

also build with system nss and nspr(binaries are smaller,and as the book says  you need it for thunderbird anyway).uncomment the line in .mozconfig of the book.
I had'nt built firefox-1.5,and my build went well after i did what i said 
earlier.Hope it works for you too.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I installed all the dependencies, but on make I have run into a problem:

    One problem fixed:&nbsp; found xft.pc in /usr/X11R6/lib64/pkgconfig and needed to add this to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Next problem:&nbsp; multiple link errors in gtk2xtbin.o.  I wonder if this is an x86_64 issue or it could relate to the --enable-canvas option.&nbsp; Will try more tomorrow.
