Mozilla, Thunderbird, Firefox, NSS
I try to compile Mozilla, Thunderbird, Firefox with NSS support for evolution.
1. The 3 packages come with almost similar source code. The results are 3 sets of similar directories:
/usr/include/thunderbird ......
/usr/include/mozilla.....
/usr/include/firefox......
The content of the above directories are exactly the same.
The duplication also occur with /usr/lib/thunderbird ...., etc
Is it possible to create a single sets of directories and save space and time?
(several hundreds MB).
2. NSS cannot be compiled and installed automatically. I had to compile /mozilla/security manually and install it manually. How to solve this problem?
Thank you.

You may also want to take a look at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...t/firefox.html and also for the other programs in order to see how to compile it properly, there is a patch provided so that it properly compiles against NSS, the two flags you'll want to keep in mind are --with-system-nss and --with-system-nspr, the .mozconfig file goes in the same directory as the configure file when you do that.
