mozilla 1.6 / FreeBSD 4.8 / i386

[ravi]

[the below is my message to ftp-stage at mozilla.org regarding a freebsd
4.8 build of mozilla 1.6. this build is now available also at the
'contributed builds' section of the mozilla download page]


hello,

i have created an unofficial "official" build of mozilla 1.6 for
freeBSD4.8 at:

http://www.exitleft.org/mozilla/

File:
http://www.exitleft.org/mozilla/mozilla-i386-unknown-freebsd4.8.tar.gz
Checksum:
http://www.exitleft.org/mozilla/mozilla-i386-unknown-freebsd4.8.tar.gz.md5sum

i have run through many (though not all) of the smoke tests. since i
seldom see FreeBSD builds (other than nightly) on the mozilla web site
(perhaps i am looking in the wrong place), i thought i would share this
with others who may be interested.

i am new to building mozilla, so please excuse any obvious mistakes.

this build includes the calendar client. here is the README:

Comments:

1. includes calendar client

2. the __USE_BSD define required for compiling
   other-licenses/libical/src/libical/icalcomponent.c
   is not correctly generated by the makefile

p.s:

the calendar client has a rather annoying bug (now fixed in CVS):
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227730

i notice today that someone filed a bug and posted a patch for #2 above:
