Firefox 1.5 build issues

[John McNew]

Hi,

I did what you suggested and used CVSup to sync up with the entire ports
collection.

I am on a clean install of FreeBSD 6.  I went into the usr/ports/www/firefox
directory and started the make.  It was going fine until it checked the
dependency on glib20.  I did a "make deinstall" on it and a "make reinstall"
and that seemed to help.  Firefox build continued until I got to atk.  I then
did a "make deinstall" and a "make reinstall" on it and now the firefox build
complains because the version of atk I built was 1.9 and firefox is looking for
1.0.0.

What should I do to get it to build now?  I don't have atk 1.0.0.

Also, on the ports web page (http://www.freebsd.org/ports), I see this
statement,

'Each ``port'' listed here contains any patches necessary to make the original
application source code compile and run on FreeBSD. Installing an application
is as simple as downloading the port, unpacking it and typing make in the port
directory.'

It seems a lot of ports don't follow this philosophy.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
John
