FreeBSD fails to install Firefox with ports + solution!

Install Firefox in FreeBSD 5.4 release today. Update the ports tree to the latest version:


FreeBSD # CVSup-g-L 2/root/ports-supfile

Then execute make in the Firefox directory:


FreeBSD # cd/usr/ports/www/Firefox
FreeBSD # Make

Soon after, the system encountered a compilation error:

NsHostResolver. h: 95: error: iso c ++ forbids declaration of 'praddrinfo' with no type NsHostResolver. h: 95: error: expected '; 'before' *' token NsHostResolver. h: In member function 'prbool nsHostRecord: HasResult () const ': NsHostResolver. h: 99: error: 'addr _ info' undeclared (first use this function) NsHostResolver. h: 99: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in .)

This problem occurs because Firefox has problems with NSPR in earlier versions and cannot be compiled!
So I decided to install the new dependency package:


FreeBSD # cd/usr/Ports
FreeBSD # Make search name = NSPR


The following are several examples:


Port: nspr-4.4.1_1
Path:/usr/ports/devel/nspr

Port: dnsproxy-1.13
Path:/usr/ports/dns/dnsproxy

Port: transproxy-1.5
Path:/usr/ports/www/transproxy


Make them one by one, make install, and then install firefox again!
