#21 firefox rpms don't build on el4

[Anonymous]

1) missing build dependencies:

error: Failed build dependencies:
libXt-devel is needed by firefox-1.5.0.6-2.1.el4.dnssec.2.i386
libXrender-devel is needed by firefox-1.5.0.6-2.1.el4.dnssec.2.i386

Might be due to an older X.

fc5: rpm -qf `which X` = xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.0-2
el4: rpm -qf `which X`= xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37

libXt and libXrender are both in xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.

after fixing that:

2) checking for cairo >= 0.3.0... Package cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairo.pc'

the BuildRequires for cairo-devel was commented out in the spec file, which wanted a version greater than 0.5. EL4 has 0.2.0-1.2.el4.rf.

At that point I just gave up.

The current firefox is firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4.src.rpm.
If you want a dnssec-enabled firefox for el4, then I'd need to try and apply the dnssec patches to this rpm. Let me know if you want me to explore this path.

I'm betting we need to get the src rpm for el4 in order to
fix this. src.rpms are supposed to compile everywhere, in
theory but theory = not reality as always.
