Installation of NSPR
Install NSPR by running the
following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../nspr-4.8.9-pkgconfig-2.patch &&
cd mozilla/nsprpub &&
sed -i 's#^\(RELEASE_BINS =\).*#\1#' pr/src/misc/Makefile.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mozilla --with-pthreads \
$([ $(arch) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
cp -v -LR dist/include/nspr /usr/include
Command Explanations
--with-mozilla: This
parameter adds Mozilla support to the libraries (required if you
want to build any other Mozilla products and link them to these
libraries).
--with-pthreads: This
parameter forces use of the system pthreads library.
$([ $(arch) ...
--enable-64bit: This parameter is required on an x86_64 system to prevent
configure failing
with a claim that this is a system without pthread support. It has
no effect on a 32 bit system.
sed -i 's#^\(RELEASE_BINS
...: This disables installing two unneeded scripts.
If you don't want to compile and install the static versions of the
libraries you can disable them with a sed: sed -i '/^TARGETS/s# $(LIBRARY)##'

libnspr4.{so,a}
|
contains functions that provide platform independence for
non-GUI operating system facilities such as threads,
thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O,
interval timing and calendar time, basic memory
management (malloc and free) and shared library linking.
|
|
libplc4.{so,a}
|
contains functions that implement many of the features
offered by libnspr4
|
|
libplds4.{so,a}
