Building FF3 on Linux kernel 2.4

Requirements Tree

• GTK+-2.10.0
  • Glib 2.12 -- Installed 2.12.4
    • libc6 2.3.6 -- Downloaded the etch package from PDO. This has a dependency on e2fsprogs and creates a lot of mess with fontconfig. ---> Very bad idea. Do not use packages across branches. It will give you a screwed up system. (I had Woody (debian) system)
    • pkg-config -- version not mentioned.
  • Pango 1.13
  • ATK 1.9
    • Glib 2.0.0 -- Taken care of. 2.12 present.
  • Cairo 1.2
    • libpng --- Caused a lot of trouble. Its dev package is needed and the dev package does not put the .pc files. I had to create it manually. And when that also failed looked at the configure and figured out that I can try setting the png_CFlags and png_Libs manually. And that also does not work. :-(.

    • freetype-2.1.4
