Hello,

I am trying to build firefox 3.0.11 from sources on an amd64 freebsd system. I am running into issues and would much appreciate pointers/help in this regard. Also, please let me know if this is not the right forum for this issue.

Initially, I got the following error:

gcc -o host_cppsetup.o -c -DXP_UNIX -DINCLUDEDIR=\"/usr/include\" -DOBJSUFFIX=\".o\" -DPREINCDIR=\"include\" -I../../../config/mkdepend -I. -I../../dist/include -I../../dist/include/mkdepend -I../../dist/include/nspr -I../../dist/sdk/include -I../../dist/include/nspr ../.. /../config/mkdepend/cppsetup.c In file included from ../../../config/mkdepend/cppsetup.c:29: ../../../config/mkdepend/def.h:30:21: error: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory ../../../config/mkdepend/def.h:31:28: error: X11/Xfuncproto.h: No such file or directory gmake[4]: *** [host_cppsetup.o] Error 1

Basically, the build system complained about not being able to find /usr/include/X11/*. These files were in /usr/local/include/X11/*, so I created a link to these files in /usr/inlclude/X11. While this fixed the first error, I am not sure if that was the actual solution. After fixing /usr/include/X11, the build failed again as follows, and I'd appreciate any help.
