Now, as the root user: make install && cp -v -LR dist/include/nspr /usr/include --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 pthreads library. $([ $(arch) ... --enable-64bit: This parameter is required on an x86_64 system to prevent configure failing with a claim that this is a system without pthread support. It has no effect on a 32 bit system. sed -i 's#^\(RELEASE_BINS ...: This disables installing two unneeded scripts. If you don't want to compile and install the static versions of the libraries you can disable them with a sed: sed -i '/^TARGETS/s# $(LIBRARY)##' config/rules.mk Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories nspr-config libnspr4.{a,so}, libplc4.{a,so}, and libplds4.{a.so} /usr/include/nspr Short Descriptions nspr-config provides compiler and linker options to other packages that use NSPR. nspr-config libnspr4.{so,a} contains functions that provide platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities such as threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free) and shared library linking. libnspr4.{so,a} libplc4.{so,a} contains functions that implement many of the features offered by libnspr4 libplc4.{so,a} libplds4.{so,a} contains functions that provide data structures. libplds4.{so,a}
