Description Andre Schaefer 2004-04-30 08:08:24 UTC 
I have a sourcetree of a previously compiled firefox. When I try to compile
against those sources, two things happen:

1. nsIPassword.h is not found

2. It doesn't link, because MozGlobalHistory::OutputReferrerURL(char const *,
char const *) is not defined.

To fix 1.), I have added the .../include/mozilla-1.6/passwordmgr location to
mozilla-gktmozembed.pc

To fix 2. I have added the dummy declaration of the method above to
epiphany-1.2.[2|3]/embed/mozilla/GlobalHistory.cpp

It compiles and runs nicely then.
Comment 1 Christian Persch 2004-04-30 14:51:49 UTC 
If that's really all there is, I think we could try to add support for building
against mozilla tree compiled for firefox; what do you think, marco?

To the reporter: just curious... does formfield prefill and autocompletion
popups work in epiphany compiled with the firefox sources?
Comment 2 Andre Schaefer 2004-04-30 14:57:41 UTC 
Yes, both.

The sources may not have been vanilla, as I got them via apt-get source (from
backports.org).
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-04-30 16:51:21 UTC 
I vote WONTFIX. We have already enough mainteincance headaches. With 1.0 Firefox
is supposed to become the default anyway.
