%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ NSPR Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for system level and libc like functions. &lfs91_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &nspr-md5sum; Download size: &nspr-size; Estimated disk space required: &nspr-buildsize; Estimated build time: &nspr-time; User Notes: Install NSPR by running the following commands: cd nspr && sed -ri 's#^(RELEASE_BINS =).*#\1#' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in && sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##' config/rules.mk && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --with-mozilla \ --with-pthreads \ $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) && make The testsuite is designed for testing changes to nss or nspr and is not particularly useful for checking a released version (e.g. it needs to be run on a non-optimized build with both nss and nspr directories existing alongside each other). For further details, see the User Notes for nss at Now, as the root user: make install sed -ri 's#^(RELEASE_BINS =).*#\1#' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in: This sed disables installing two unneeded scripts. sed -i 's#$(LIBRARY) ##' config/rules.mk: This sed disables installing the static libraries. --with-mozilla: This parameter adds Mozilla support to the libraries (required if you want to build any other Mozilla products and link them to these libraries). --with-pthreads: This parameter forces use of the system pthread library. $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit): The --enable-64bit parameter is required on an x86_64 system to prevent configure failing with a claim that this is a system without pthread support. The [ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] test ensures it has no effect on a 32 bit system.
