As can be seen in the screenshot below, Firefox can be built for gcc 4 Haiku. http://dustin.howett.net/haiku/aa1_1.png There is also a guide on how to cross-compile Firefox for Haiku here: http://wiki.bebits.com/page/CrosscompilingFirefox Though there seems to be two dependencies missing, quoting from the article: "We need glib and libIDL for Haiku. Unfortunatly glib was hard to crosscompile so I will not discuss it here. Hopefully someone will provide proper built versions." It would be nice if not everyone who wants Firefox for gcc 4 built Haiku needs to build it themselves, going through a seemingly cumbersome procedure. As there seems to be some people out there who already have it built, could you make it available as an "optional package", like the gcc 2 version?Is there any problem with using the gcc 2 Firefox with a gcc4/gcc2 hybrid Haiku? At least according to the optional package definition it can be installed.
I'm not sure, haven't tried building a hybrid image. BTW, I couldn't find instructions for this in the READMEs, where is it documented? Ideally I'd like a "clean" gcc 4 install, so if Firefox can be built with gcc 4 I'd prefer that.
